TPO-01 - Integrated Writing Task In the United States, employees typically work five days a week for eight hours each day. However, many employees want to work a four-day week and are willing to accept less pay inorder to do so. A mandatory policy requiri

The lecture discusses about how reducing work days from 5 days to 4 days can turn out to be unprofitable to the company and also the employees. The lecturer thus shows his disapproval for the following idea mentioned in the paragraph and provides related explanations to reason his stand.

The lecture and the paragraph totally contradict each other. The paragraph mentions the advantages of having employees work for four day a week for 80% of their pay whereas the lecture tells the opposite.
Firstly the paragraph states that offering a four day workweek will help company economically has the employees will be paid only 80% of their pay. This will be beneficial for company in increasing the no of employees but will not have to spend extra money on their salary as their salary will account from the remaining pay of the other employees. While the lecture opposes the statement, stating that increasing the no of employees will also increase other expenses on healthcare, office furniture and devices etc. which will indirectly affect the company profit.

Secondly the article states that the company will be profited as the employees will be more rested and alert and will be prone to less mistakes. On the other hand the lecturer explains that even if the worksheet is reduced to 4days , the company may rise its expectation from the employees to work more in these 4 days and this may result in a more work pressure for the employees.

Finally as the paragraph supports employees to have a four day workweek , providing benefits like free time and proper rest, the lecture weakens the proposal by showing the disadvantages including poor assurance of job stability and reduction in chances of promotions as the company will opt to choose an employee with 5day workweek for stable monitoring rather than a 4day workweek employee.
