Four-day week: Moutta Farm moves to 31 hours

Here at the farm, we look after our worms… and the people who care for them. After a few weeks of testing, we have made a decision that means a lot to us: Moutta Farm is moving to a four-day week.

31 hours, paid as 35

In practice, our employees now work Monday to Thursday, for 31 hours a week. Their pay stays exactly the same: those 31 hours are paid as 35 hours.

Why this choice? For the wellbeing of the whole team. A proper three-day weekend means more time for family, personal projects and rest. And a well-rested team is a more attentive team day to day, when preparing your orders and looking after the worms.

Good news for your Willys

This new way of working also benefits our little residents. Earthworms are living creatures, and a parcel sent at the end of the week risks being stuck all weekend in a courier's warehouse.

From now on, the Willys are no longer dispatched on Fridays. They travel during the week and reach you without spending a weekend in a box. Less stress for them, less worry for you.

What about the shop?

Nothing changes for you: the website stays open every day for orders. Your orders are simply prepared and dispatched from Monday to Thursday.

And you?

The four-day week is being talked about more and more. Is your company considering it? If you have a question, or would like to share your experience, write to us: the whole team will be delighted to hear from you… first thing Monday!
