The city of Keller has decided to experiment with a four-day work week, to see if employees benefit from a consistent extra day off.

The city of Keller recently announced starting this week; municipal employees will begin a trial four-day work week that will last through the summer. The Keller Town Hall, Municipal Service Center and the records department of the Keller Police Department will all be involved. According to KXAN, the offices will open at 7:30 A.M. on Monday and close at 5:30 P.M. on Thursday.

“Unlike some cities throughout the nation that are responding to industry challenges with unstainable salary increases that burden taxpayers, Keller’s pilot program is financially responsible, sustainable, and customer-service driven,” said Mayor Armin Mizani. The experiment will last until October, where it will be reassessed at the next city meeting. If it works, maybe more industries will try a four day work week.
