#2Do these companies close on a week day, like they just don’t open on a Monday. Or do the staff just do 4 out of the 5 days, but the company operates all week and the team need coordinating so they have coverage all week? I’d love to do this at my place, but would want to close the whole business and I don’t think our clients would be happy.

There’s a mix of both approaches. I suspect most are the latter at least for customer facing roles.

#5Rather cynically I see this as "Companies who continue to operate at 100% but with 20% less staff wages"

The subheader claims that they have done this without reducing wages.

#7It wasn't clear as to whether this also included companies that allow you to work 'compressed hours' - ie a normal 37.5 hour week but in 4 days (start earlier, finish later), which is increasingly common.

The company I work for, Wonde, allows staff to choose the day. There's negotiation with the manager to ensure appropriate coverage across the week, and a fair bit of flexibility around swapping days around as and when necessary too.

Most, including the company I work for, operate on a 100/100/80 model: 100% pay for 100% performance/output in 80% of the time. This means that, for example, meetings are generally short, on time, and straight into the topic. For me personally, and from what I've heard from colleagues, you get more done when you don't have the same mid-week or end-of-week slump.
