Four day work week



Utah figures the state's golf courses will benefit the most from a four-day work week.

Public employees there will go from a regular, five 8-hour workdays, to four 10-hour workdays. It begins next month and is expected to save the state and its workforce millions of dollars in energy costs.

Besides the savings to individual workers, the state figures it will save $3 million a year by turning off the lights, the heat and air conditioning on Fridays in a third of the government buildings.

Gov. Jon Hutsman's order affects about 17,000 of the state's 24,000 executive branch employees. The Associated Press reports it does not cover state police officers, prison guards, court employees or those at Utah's public universities.

The spinoff benefits, besides more traffic at parks, golf courses and swimming holes, are still being calculated. One figure is the ozone will be reduced by about 3,000 metric tons a year. Utah officials hope to use the benefit to lure younger workers.
