Saco City Hall Piloting New Hours Beginning February 5th , 2024
Effective February 5 , 2024 , Saco will trial a 120 - day pilot program to evaluate closing City Hall early on Fridays with a schedule as follows:
Monday: 7:30 am – 4:00 pm
Tuesday: 7:30 am – 4:00 pm
Wednesday: 7:30 am – 4:00 pm
Thursday: 7:30 am – 4:00 pm
Friday: 7:30 am – 1:00 pm
Many comparable municipalities , including Biddeford , Scarborough , and Gorham , have moved to a four - day week . Benefits cited by other municipalities included enhanced employee retention , work/life harmony satisfaction , and a reduction in the cost of turnover and its negative effects on the organization .
With Saco’s new schedule , employees working in City Hall will still have a 37 . 5 - hour workweek with no change in compensation or benefits , due to shorter lunches .
“Staffing municipal departments is more competitive than ever , and exploring these alternative schedules is one way we can keep pace with the changing industry , ” said City Administrator John Bohenko . “We will be surveying residents and other City Hall customers to determine the benefits of this pilot program . ”
