Regina automotive garage hopes switch to 4-day week will help work-life balance

A handful of mechanics in Regina now have a work week that is one day shorter than most. 

The automotive repair shop run, Kinetic Auto Service, asked its workers how it could improve their employment. Their response: a four-day work week.

“I was actually really looking forward to having more time to spend with my family,” Kinetic technician Allie Punga told CBC.

“I have a six-year-old and we have another one on the way, so any extra time not at work is bonus.”

Kinetic employees will work 10-hour days from Tuesday to Friday, then have a three-day weekend.

Punga had previously worked a four-day work week
