Or it could be rephrased - effectively he is only working a four day week spread over five days. If he is to work a full five day week he will 'need' 25% in more pay.
The chances are that if he does move to somewhere else he will have to do the full 8 hours a day but his pay will be commensurate with that. Again, this could be explained like that rather than 'you pay badly'.
So it may work if the manager 'sees' him as only hired for a four day week. He can then make the case for paying him for five days a week in order to achieve certain objectives, e.g. meet deadlines.
