| Summary: | The article reports that Random House Group (RHG), Penguin, Hodder, Virgin and Simon & Schuster are among the publishers to adopt flexible summer working hours, letting staff leave the office at 1 p.m. on Fridays if they work longer hours during the week. RHG's summer hours run from June through to August, covering 12 Fridays, while Penguin's will operate during July and August. The Hachette Group said that the policy was at the discretion of divisional managing directors, but "most of them" are allowing it. At HarperCollins Publishers Ltd., staff finish at 4.15 p.m. on Fridays throughout the year.
