FIVE-DAY WORK WEEK
CIVIC EMPLOYEES WELLINGTON INQUIRY (For I’ress Association.) WELLINGTON, last night. A committee consisting of the Mayor and chairman of committees was today appointed by the Wellington City Council to bring in the five-day week in the council offices where possible. It was explained in a report concerning the proposal that an extra halfhour of work on ordinary days would lie necessary if the employees were to be free on Saturdays.
In some departments at least some of the staff would have to be kept on on Saturdays. The council had decided at tin* previous meeting that officers under the control of the works committee should not work on .Saturdays. The five-day week is now in force in that department, the daily hours being extended by half an hour to enable the staff to cope with the work.
