The answer was not rocket science and I could have predicted the outcome. While a laudable idea it is the consumer/tax payer that will ultimately pay for it.

Doh. The m and space bar are too close together... to not Tom
I work about 60 hours a week so yes, I would love to get paid the same for less hours.

The something for nothing mentality again!
No problem RATTER....take a medical degree....vote Labour, go into General Practice and do less hours and get MORE money.
Simple.
I think gp practice has changed since you're time sqad.
No.^^^^^ that was the deal that Labour did with the BMA in 2007...........2007.........10 years ago.

Having been on the PPG for my Dr surgery they do work hard but as Sqad says they get paid more to do less hours than they used to.

They are moaning like Billyo about having to work Saturdays and some evenings as well.

Actually pretty much as the participants in this article felt when the trial came to an end.
In my experience if you have people who work 3/4 days a week, they still manage to do 5 days worth of work in that time.

I don't think this would work for manual labour (where time and output are closely linked), but in most office jobs, working shorter hours each day would give people more time to be people outside - and then bring that into work.

It seems like an expense for the taxpayer, because they trialled it on nurses. Private companies could do this, and reap the rewards.
I agree with ED. If your job isn't public facing and all deadlines get met it doesn't matter how many days you work.
