Hope all goes well for you and hang in there.

Sorry to hear that Ian, we have just had to accept a tempory paycut of 5% in exchange for an extra 5 days holiday so less money for more work as we cover for others taking their extra days.

Personally I would have taken the 4 day option but I wasn't allowed as we were short staffed to start with!

Make sure they confirm that your 4 day week and resulting paycut is only a tempory thing as it could effect redundancy pay if it comes to it, on our payslips it shows the standard rate and then has a deduction of 5%
