Magyar Telekom Nyrt. is returning to a standard work schedule after a four-day workweek didn’t meet expectations in a pilot project.
Regular operations will return at the end of February after a one-and-a-half-year trial period, during which 300 of its almost 5,000 employees worked only four days a week for the same pay, the Hungarian unit of Deutsche Telekom AG said in an emailed release late Tuesday.
