Many employees want a more flexible work schedule once the Covid-19 pandemic is over and they will have to return to work. Some opt for moderate options, while others want to make significant changes, such as adopting a hybrid work regime. This requires that employees be able to choose their work schedule and also where they want to work. If most of the countries in which the 4-day-a-week work schedule was tested considered a proportional reduction in the number of hours worked in a week with the maintenance of the salary unchanged, it should be noted that in Romania and Belgium, the concept of short working week only considers a merging of the 40-hour working week into 4 working days and the granting of 3 days off.
