SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- Salt Lake City is considering following Gov. Jon Huntsman's lead in switching to a four-day workweek.

Mayor Ralph Becker says his administration is studying the idea and will make a decision in two to three months.

In August, many state workers will begin working four days a week, 10 hours a day. The new schedule is intended to cut energy costs.

Becker says he wants input from city employees before making a decision.

Provo and West Valley City have already switched to a four-day workweek. ------ Information from: The Salt Lake Tribune
