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 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 morestaff 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 profits. For the country as a whole, one of the primary benefits of offering this option to employees is that it would reduce unemployment rates. 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.
Answer
The reading and the lecture are both about working day of employee, which is employees want to work four-day a week from five-day a week work. The author of the reading believes that the four-day week have benefit for company and employee. The lecture casts doubt on the claims, made in the article, he thinks that the four-day week is disadvantage from organize and employee.
First of all, the author points out that four-day week is take profit for company more that the five-day week. It is mentioned that the four-day week can decrease cost of operation and employee can rest more so they can alert. This point is challenged by the lecturer. He says the five-day week is increase cost and less profit. Futhermore, she argues less day work is more position and more employee then the cost of employee is increase than the five-day week.
Secondly, the author contends that the unemployee rate is decreased. The article notes the five-day week have to hire more employee to keep the performance of company then the company have to hire new employee and find subcontract. So, the unemployee rate is decreased than before.
The lecture rebuts this argument. She suggests the four-day week have more job availval then it is make company decrease performance. She elaborates on this by mentioning that the more job availval is high cost to recuit them then it is not suitable to change.
Finally, the author states that employee have time to stay with their family. The artivle established that the four-day week give employee have more time to stay with family and rest then they can work productive more. The lecture on the other hand, posits that the employee can less productive. She puts forth the idea that the more free time of employee give them to forget to work then it's not productivity.
In conclusions, the lecturer a=effectively casts doubt on all of the claims and theories presented in the reading.
