SINGAPORE: Full-time employees in Singapore are worried that a four-day work week will mean longer hours for them, an online survey of over 1,000 workers showed.

But they will support their employer implementing such an arrangement as an additional rest day would benefit their mental health, according to results of a poll by American software company Qualtrics released on Tuesday (June 21).
