Reardon explained to common council that her friend recently started working for the city of Calgary, and employees there have the option to work a 37 and a half hour work week, and get paid for 35. Then, at the end of each pay period, they can take a day off. She says it's all the same since the work is already done.
Since all the hours of work are governed by collective agreement, if anything is changed it will have to be part of negotiations in the collective bargaining process. The idea has been passed on to city staff to collect more information.
