Poland to reduce working hours, 4-day week supported by 70 percent of employers

The Polish government has confirmed that before the end of the mandate in 2027, it will change the Labor Law in order to reduce working hours in the country.

At the moment, two alternatives are available: a four-day work week or a seven-hour work day. The four-day work week has many supporters and, according to research by the ClickMeeting platform, it is supported by 70 percent of employers.

"Studies show that the longer we work, the more stressed and tired we are. Another hour spent at work does not necessarily mean another hour of efficiency," said the Polish minister for family, work and social policy, one of the main supporters of this change.

According to her, the request to reduce working hours so that people have more time for family, development and rest, should be taken seriously.

On the other hand, some members of the Polish government expressed skepticism and claim that establishing a four-day work week is not the right solution for a country affected by a demographic crisis.

According to Eurostat data, Poles work an average of 40.5 hours a week, which is the highest figure in the European Union, after the Greeks. The EU average is 37.5 hours, and the global average is 34.2 hours.

The process for changes to the Labor Law is expected to start in the autumn and could be completed next spring, as the reduction of working hours could help the ruling coalition in the campaign for the 2025 presidential elections.
