  • How does the exit strategy work for business owners?
    We offer a flexible transition path: • Business founders retain 75% ownership • Over time, you can choose to transition ownership to workers • Board develops succession planning • Phased equity transition available • Customized exit timelines • Preservation of business legacy
  • What is AJF's work week structure?
    We go beyond the traditional 4-day work week. Our employees work four days in their primary roles and are paid for a fifth day dedicated to community service. This innovative approach ensures both productivity and community impact.
  • Does this 5th day affect employee compensation?
    No – employees receive full pay for all five days, including their community service day. This is part of our commitment to both worker wellbeing and community development.
  • How does this structure benefit businesses?
    Our model creates: • Higher productivity during operational days • Stronger community connections • More engaged employees • Better work-life integration • Increased local impact • Sustainable business growth
  • Is this different from a standard 4-day work week?
    Yes! While others talk about 4-day work weeks, we've created something more impactful. Instead of just reducing work days, we've repurposed that fifth day for paid community service. This creates value for both our workers and their communities. Note: We are in the beginning of our journey. All donations go to scaling and operations as of now. In the future all donations will go to the 5th day community service initiative.
  • How does the fifth day of community service work?
    On the fifth workday, employees receive full pay to volunteer in their communities. This isn't just time off – it's a paid opportunity to make a real difference where you live. This approach strengthens local communities while providing meaningful work-life integration.
  • What kinds of community service can employees perform?
    Employees can engage in various community activities such as: • Local improvement projects • Mentoring programs • Environmental initiatives • Social service support • Educational programs • Community development work
  • What makes AJF's work week structure unique?
    We go beyond a traditional 4-day work week. Our model includes: • 4 days of focused business operations • 1 fully paid day dedicated to community service • Full benefits and worker equity • Technology-enabled productivity • Community impact measurement
  • How does worker ownership develop over time?
    As business founders choose to transition: • Workers can gradually buy ownership stakes • Phased equity transition model • Internal market for equity transfer • Structured succession planning • Preserved founder legacy • Maintained business standards
  • Why did AJF choose this unique work structure?
    We believe business success and community wellbeing are inseparable. Our four days of focused work combined with one paid day of community service creates a more engaged workforce, stronger communities, and more sustainable business outcomes.
  • Why do you say "beyond a 4-day work week"?
    Because we're not just reducing work days – we're transforming how work creates value. Employees work a full 5-day schedule, with 4 days in their primary roles and the 5th day as paid community service. This creates impact both within our businesses and throughout our communities.
