In a survey by LCF Law, which has an office in Bradford, more than half of respondents said they believe they should have the right to work a four-day week.

LCF Law asked "almost 100 workers" [sic] if they agreed that there should be a right to work a four-day week, and 53 per cent answered yes, while 31 per cent "stated that it depends" and 16 per cent said no.

Employment law advisor, Brendan Bah, from LCF Law, commented on the survey with reference to the current Labour government's Employment Rights Bill.

Mr Bah said: "In a shakeup of employment legislation that was introduced in April 2024, employees now have additional rights to request flexible working from the moment they start a job.

"In recent months, there has been speculation that as part of the Employment Rights Bill, the government would increase workers’ rights further when it comes to flexible working, which could include the right to condense their hours over four longer days instead of five, which our research shows the majority of people would be in favour of."

LCF Law has offices in Bradford, Leeds, Harrogate, and Ilkley.
