Workframe keeps working patterns, leave and a light record of work in one place, so a shorter week stays clear for the whole team.

Four-day weeks come in different shapes. Each person’s working pattern records theirs, day by day, in mornings and afternoons.
Give each person a pattern with no hours on, say, Friday. It shows as a non-working day across the team.
Give people or teams different days off, so you keep cover across the full week and can see it at a glance.
If your four days are longer, set the hours for each morning and afternoon to match.
Give a four-day pattern a start date. If the trial ends, add a new pattern from that day. Earlier patterns stay on record.
A day off means something different when someone works four days. Workframe starts from each person’s pattern rather than assuming five days.
Workframe helps you organise leave. It does not give legal or HR advice, so check allowances against your contracts and statutory requirements.
A shorter week works best when everyone can see where work stands. Work Logs give you that without status meetings or tracking software.
Each person notes what they worked on and how long it took.
Expected hours come from each person’s four-day pattern, and drop on holidays and leave days.
Managers review the team’s entries across any date range.
If you are trialling a four-day week, export work logs as CSV to review the trial period with your own measures.
Start a 14-day trial. No card needed. Set up your working week, leave year and team in a few minutes.
