Local Government: Working Hours
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, if she will publish guidance for local authorities on four day working weeks and annualised hours.
Answered by Jim McMahon
The government recognises that local authorities are independent employers who are responsible for decisions such as these around the management of their workforces, however, it is not government policy to support a four-day working week in local authorities.
Local authorities are encouraged to consult their workforce and trade unions before considering changes to their local working arrangements.
