<p>The Government currently has no plans to introduce a mandated four-day working
week in the UK.</p><p> </p><p>The UK has one of the most flexible labour markets in
Europe and this flexibility enables workers to participate in the labour market in
a way that suits their circumstances. Working hours are ultimately a contractual matter
to be agreed between a worker and their employer, and our existing legal framework
provides a statutory right for all employees with 26 weeks’ continuous service to
request flexible working, where employees can request a change to their hours, working
patterns or working from home.</p>
