Most employees of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes of Montana started a four-day work week on Monday.
The tribe authorized the shorter week as means to save energy. "We'll see how our people feel about it after 60 days," spokesman Rob McDonald told The Missoulian.
Some tribal enterprises have already moved to the four-day work week. Law enforcement, fire control and 24-7 programs are not covered.
The Saginaw Chippewa Tribe of Michigan has started a four-day work week to help employees save commuting costs.
