In addition to great skiing, Utah now has a new attraction: a four-day workweek. Known as the “Working 4 Utah” initiative, about 17,000 of state´s 24,000 government workers will work only Monday through Thursday, effective the first week in August. Although government hours will be extended from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., offices will be closed Fridays, saving the state an estimated $3 million a year from turning off the lights heat and air conditioning in government buildings. State police officers, prison guards, court employees and workers at Utah´s public universities are not eligible for the four-day work week.
