finleysmaid Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 so if you have been watching the news this morning there have been discussions about going to a 4 day working week......my immediate thought …"what would this do to an already struggling childcare industry?" How do you think your setting would cope with this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inge Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Cannot see it happening, expecting the company to pay the same for 4 days work when they could get 5 is asking a lot. It would be possible but the mindset is to get as much work out of employees as they can and many already expect more than 5 days work , what with work out of hours evenings and weekends. This also would not work for many jobs, cannot get more productivity out of a person who works set shifts for a reason, childcare, shop work,bus drivers, and many other jobs would need more employees to cover , and would cost too much to the company. Nice idea but impractical on so many levels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm 'ahead of the game' - that's what I offer now For full day care settings it would not be workable in my humble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
