Another Pennsylvania county is considering instituting a four-day work week for its employees. This time it's the Berks County Commissioners.
They are considering a plan designed to save hundreds of county employees some of the money they spend on gasoline to fill up their cars.
The proposal is for a flexible schedule of a four-day work week at 10 hours per day.
County officials say as many as 500 employees would be eligible to participate in the voluntary, six-week program. All 24-hour workers and employees in the county court system would be exempt.
The commissioners will vote on the plan Thursday.
The Centre County commissioners have also floated the idea of a four-day work week, but they have no formal proposal on the table. They say the idea may not be practical.
