> and receive significantly reduced pay.

That depends on the country you work in. In Poland you get 80% of normal pay which tbh is a really good deal.

That's not a "really good deal." Do 20% of your normal expenses magically go away? And if you have to spend any extra money of your own for care or related things (maybe none of your old clothes fit anymore!) it gets worse. Plus, you know, there's the HORRIBLY ILL part of it.

My expenses dont go away, but I dont have to work in the same time either. Time is money, so for 8h/day I get 80% of pay and still have those 8h..

And only 30days/yr of this is from the employer's pocket, the rest is from the state which is also a good deal the other way around.
