This paper extends previous work on 7-days-a-week, multiple-shift workforce scheduling by considering the 4-day workweek. It seeks to minimize the workforce size subject to satisfying staffing requirements on weekdays and weekends, and workrules relating to shift changes, off-days, and off-weekends. An algorithm is proposed to generate a schedule for a specific time horizon.
