The goal is to help bolster the country's work-life balance and to help create greater awareness of the long hours many employees are expected to work every week.
Under the program, workers would be permitted to clock in on the afternoon of the Monday that follows the last Friday of every month. This would mark the second attempt by the government to improve work-life balance.
In February last year, it introduced "Premium Fridays," which called on companies to let their employees leave work early on the last Friday of the month to spend more time with family. But a survey of that program a year later revealed that only 11.2% of employees left work early and employers griped that there was too much work to let people leave early.
