In Ukraine, a four -day working week at the legislative level is not provided. According to the Code of Labor Laws, the average duration of work is 40 hours a week.
European countries are increasingly introducing a four -day working week, while in Ukraine such a model has not yet supported the legislative. Due to the war, the labor market in Ukrainians has been working under a special law adopted for the period of Martial Law, giving you a weekly load to 60 hours. It was reported to the state working service on Monday, July 7.
At the same time, in peace, moving to a shorter working week is the subject of discussion.
Thus, Iceland has already introduced a new schedule for 90% of workers, allowing Belgium to work four days for 10 hours, and Germany, after a pilot project, which has slightly switched to a new format. Poland recently launched an experimental program with the support of the Ministry of Labor.
In Ukraine, changes in state policy levels have not been discussed. As the deputy head of state employment employers explained that Evgenia Podkalisna, there are currently no legislative initiatives to reduce the duration of the working week, however, there are 876 vacancies with an incomplete schedule nationwide.
A four -day working week in Ukraine has only been tested with individual companies. For example, in 2019, the IT company conducted a pilot experiment, which initially showed positive results: reducing burnout and increasing employees’ satisfaction. However, over time, the company faced the fall of productivity in individual units and changed its decision.
As the experience of other countries shows, a reduced week works best in the IT sector, creative and analytical industry, and at least effective in labor, services, agricultural sectors and working on time -time payment.
Remember that in Europe a four -day working week becomes more popular, the United States also looks at such skills. It has become not harmful to productivity and, even vice versa.
