Yes, they pay me. Not nearly enough, but they pay me! I still work all full time hours. I'm just allowed to do it in 4 days instead of five. I work 8am to 6pm four days a week. There are actually very few people in my building who work a standard 9-5 day. Several come in at 6am and leave at 3 so they don't have to pay for after school care for their kids. Lots of people work an extra half hour a day and take one day every two weeks off. Some work part time at home and part time in the office.
I'm a vocational rehabiliation counsellor. I work with people who have suffered significant injuries at work and can never return to their jobs. Most of my clients have been so badly injured that they are off work for years; some will never be able to work in any form ever again. I co-ordinate and arrange for all their medical appointments, surgery, travel(not many health care options up here), and therapy ect. Once they are medically stable, I help them with retraining, education and finding new work.
