Four Day Work Week
The Coffee Holding Company in La Junta started their 4-day work schedule two weeks ago.
And so far, they say, the new schedule has been working wonders on their wallets. Posted: 4:36 PM Jul 17, 2008Reporter: Danielle Saar Email Address: dsaar@kktv11news.com |

I hope that they do start a four-day work week. That would make things so much easier. People would spend less on gas (which might make the prices go down with supply and demand and all) and they would be able to spend more time with their family. I, for one, would love to be able to spend more time with my husband and I know he feels the same. I would work for kids in school too. I was reading in the Reader's Digest that they started doing that in a community college in Florida and how the grades were improving as a whole. It cuts the vacation time to a week or two per term, but they said it was worth it and want to do it again.

This actually works very well and has been provided as an option to my companies employees. The company is still open 5 days a week, but by staggering some employees to work Mon - Thu and others Tue - Fri there has been no noticeable negative effect on production. In fact, many people have actually increased their production during the four days they do work as they are able to complete projects completely rather than stop in the middle and restart the next morning.
