This is explained in the article. The intent is to evaluate 100:80:100, which is 100% pay for 80% of the hours in return for a commitment to maintain 100% productivity.

That seems pretty unlikely to happen. I guess they can actually measure productivity for some council activities (e.g. rate of processing planning applications) so we should get some interesting data.

I wonder how they hope to avoid the "guys if we all work really hard for this short study we get Fridays off forever!" effect.

Though of course since it's the government commitment to 100% of previous productivity probably not that difficult even with a 2 day work week..
