How the 4-day workweek works
Departments across San Juan County have implemented the 32-hour workweek differently, some staggering staffing to maintain their previous availability to the public while others have shortened schedules to be open just four days a week.
“Those first six months were a little bit of culture shock trying to settle in to a new norm,” Hudson said, “but now that we’re hitting a one-year mark, while there’s still a little bit of confusion, most people are not mad. They understand that this is really a benefit for their fellow community members who want to continue to live and work in the islands. It’s kind of becoming a new normal.”
