You use the word propose so i take it that it will be subject to your agreement.
Does your average hours worked equate to 40hrs?
In the wallington system you work 48hr weeks to bank your week off so it may be something similar.
Like i said IF it is subject to your agreement and it suits your office then it may be ok.
If it's not then he can go...........

If you're interested in that,why not go for the 4 day week,4x10hrs.
