A formal notice about the four-day week at South Cambs council has been dropped.
South Cambridgeshire District Council introduced the four-day week trial for desk-based and waste collection staff in 2023.
Under the trial, staff receive full pay for working fewer hours, but are expected to complete all of their work in that time.
The authority began the trial to see if it would help with the staff recruitment and retention problems it was facing.
The district council’s leadership has faced repeated backlash over the trial, but refused to back down to calls from the previous Conservative government and opposition members to end the trial.
A letter sent to the district council on Friday 8 November 2024, said the authority had engaged "constructively" with the government in providing data about the impact of the four-day week.
While not offering outright support for a four-day working week, the government said it would "end micromanaging", and would not reissue the Best Value Notice.
