Eh, personally I do not have anything against that. If their job contract says 4 days a week, they can do whatever they want on their time off
Well not if it's a trial and they want to measure the effects (well-being, sick days, productivity etc) against a control group that works 5-day weeks.
You're basically violating the conditions of the trial

fucked up the trial, however, learned a lesson about what government workers will do when given an extra 'rest' day

the rub is that they are being paid for 5 days, by the tax payer and only reason they were given the extra day was so they could rest and be more productive on their actual workdays.
so, while not a breach of any contract, the optics are terrible and normal, working people are, understandably, pissed.
in a logical world, we would say, ok, since I'm paying you 5 days, and you're only working 4, but don't need the extra rest after all, now come back on the 5th day
