'Crystal clear' | Halt 4-day-week immediately or face consequences, Gov tells orgs

The UK Government has issued new guidance to local councils, demanding an immediate halt to any ongoing four-day workweek trials and ruling out the adoption of such practices in the future.

The guidance, released by the Department for Levelling Up, Housing, and Communities (DLUHC), asserts that removing 20% of a local authority's potential working capacity does not offer value for money to taxpayers.
