Ós rud é go bhféadfadh beartais agus cleachtais atá an-difriúil a bheith i gceist le ‘seachtain 4 lá’, breathnófar sa treoirthionscadal ar shamhlacha éagsúla cleachtas agus beartas, agus idirdhealú soiléir á dhéanamh idir samhlacha éagsúla amhail an méid seo a leanas: (1) seachtain 4 lá le laghdú suntasach ar uaireanta oibre (mar shampla, 32 uair an chloig sa tseachtain i gcomparáid le 38 n-uair an chloig ar an meán a oibríodh sa Fhrainc faoi ‘loi Robien’ in 1997), agus cruthú post agus laghdú ar spriocanna aschuir aonair, (2) seachtain 4 lá le laghdú suntasach ar uaireanta oibre ach gan aon laghdú ar spriocanna aschuir aonair agus gan aon chuspóir maidir le cruthú post (mar a rinneadh i bhformhór na dtrialacha 4 lá oibre a rinneadh in Éirinn agus sa Spáinn le blianta beaga anuas); agus, (3) ar bhonn níos lú, toisc nach beartais um ‘laghdú ama oibre’ iad per se, seachtain 4 lá gan laghdú suntasach ar uaireanta oibre (mar shampla beartais rialtais agus trialacha a rinneadh le déanaí sa Bheilg agus sa Fhrainc).
As the ‘4-day week’ can mean substantially different policies and practices, the pilot project will look at different models of practices and policies, clearly differentiating different models such as the following: (1) a 4-day week with substantial reduction of working hours (for instance, 32 hours per week where the average is 38 hours as was done in France with the ‘loi Robien’ in 1997), with jobs creation and reduction of individual output targets, (2) a 4-day week with substantial reduction of working hours but no reduction of individual output targets and no purpose of job creation (as has been done in most of the 4-day week trials conducted in Ireland and Spain in recent years), and (3) to a lesser extent, as these do not really constitute ‘working time reduction’ policies per se, a 4-day week without a substantial reduction of working hours (for instance government policies and trials recently conducted in Belgium and France).
