Since it's a non-governmental campaign that is organizing it I don't think there is enforced rules, but the organizers are supporting four-day, 32-hour working week petition so that is probably the baseline.

Very nice! I believe that this is a good choice and will result in less burnouts and thus increase in efficiency ☺️
