Those who do 4 day work weeks how is your week structured in regards to public holidays, annual leave and sick pay. We are changing to a 4 day week (4x10hr days) which we all have no issue with, workshop environment so 10-12hr days are common. But boss has said if there is a PH, AL or SL taken it will only be paid as an 8hr day and then rest of week is worked 8hr days. For example, normal week work Tues to Fri Monday off. Then PH falls on Monday, get paid 8hrs Monday then work standard 8hr days rest of week.

Where as I think of you do 10hr days you should get days off at 10hr rate. So if Monday public holiday you get 10hrs, you can then takes Tuesday as replacement day off and still work 10hr days wed to Friday to complete a 40hr week.

People don’t necessarily plan days off sick either, so if I take Monday off as usual then 10hr Tues but am sick Wednesday get paid 8hr I would need to work 11hr Thur & Fri to make up my 40hr week.

Seems overly complicated to me…
