Motion · S6M-12016 · 30 Jan 2024
Four-day Working Week Adopted by Jerba Campervans
The motion
That the Parliament notes the reported decision by employee-owned campervan conversion specialist, Jerba Campervans, to adopt a four-day working week with no reduction in wages, which, it understands, makes it the first firm in the automotive industry in the UK to adopt a four-day week; understands that the business, which is based just outside North Berwick, will close on Saturdays, Sundays and Mondays, with staff working an extra hour from Tuesday to Friday, resulting in the official working week dropping from 37.5 hours to 34 hours; believes that the decision makes Jerba the latest in a growing number of businesses to make this change, inspired by 4 Day Week, a campaign that highlights the various social and economic benefits of a four-day week, and congratulates Jerba Campervans and its workforce on what it sees as this pioneering move.
