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 in order to do so. A mandatory policy requiring companies to offer their employees the option of working a four-day workweek for four-fifths (80 percent) of their normal pay would benefit the economy as a whole as well as the individual companies and the employees who decided to take the option.
The shortened workweek would increase company profits because employees would feel more rested and alert, and as a result, they would make fewer costly errors in their work. Hiring more staff to ensure that the same amount of work would be accomplished would not result in additional payroll costs because four-day employees would only be paid 80 percent of the normal rate. In the end, companies would have fewer overworked and error-prone employees for the same money, which would increase company benefits.
For the country as a whole, one of the primary benefits of offering this option to employees is that it would reduce unemployment rate. If many full-time employees started working fewer hours, some of their workload would have to be shifted to others. Thus, for every four employees who went on an 80 percent week, a new employee could be hired at the 80 percent rate.
Finally, the option of a four-day workweek would be better for individual employees. Employees who could afford a lower salary in exchange for more free time could improve the quality of their lives by spending the extra time with their families, pursuing private interests or enjoying leisure activities.
The article and the lecture are both about United State employees like to work four days week insted of five days.The writer of the article feels that this will increase the company profit. The lecturer challenges the claim made by the author. He thinks that this will reduce the company profit by huge amount.
First of all, the author argues that shoten week would feel employees free and rested.The article mentions that this will fewer the costly errors in their work.This point is challenges by the lecturer. He claims that compay might expect the employees to do five day work within foue days. Furthermore, he says this will become the job more unplesent.
Secondly, the author suggests that company will hire more workers to the staff for the same amount of rate. The article notes that this will reduce the unemployeement rate of the country. The lecture rebuts this argument. He elaborates on this by mentioning that hiring more staff leads to bare more cost to the company specialy for new employees medical expencess and for tarinning.
Finally, the author state that fou day working increase the quality of the lifes of the emplyees. Moreover, article says that employees can spent their lessure time with their families. In contrasts, the lecturer’s position is that foue day workers job stability is less when it compair with five day worker. He notes that foue days workers have great chance of loosing their job in a economic downturn.
