SOUTHAVEN, Miss. (AP) - Southaven, Mississippi Mayor Greg Davis wants city employees on a four-day work week beginning October 1st.

The board of aldermen have not set a date for consideration.

Davis said clerical workers and other non-salaried employees would work a four-day week with 10-hour days. He said department heads would be exempt.

Davis said he envisions employees coming in at 7:30 a.m. and working until 6:00 p.m. with a 30-minute lunch break. In addition to weekends, their third day off would rotate.

Davis said the police department already works 12-hour shifts, which works well for that department.
