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 suggest that companies should offer their employees the option of working a four-day workweek for four-fifths (80 percent) of their normal pay and provide three reasons of support. However, the professor explains that offering four-day workweek to employees is not reasonable and refutes all three author’s reasons and gives following reasons.
first, the reading claims that the shortened workweek would increase company profits because employees would feel more rested and alert, and they would make fewer costly errors in their work. However, the professor refute this point by saying that companies has to spend more money on hiring new employees and health benefits is also same as working four or five days. He states that hiring more employee will also need more space and more PC which will increase companies budget and decrease profit.
Second, the article says that 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. However, the professor says that working four days will not brings productivity. According to professor, if employees do overtime to complete work will good for companies and it will raise expectation from employees.
Third, the reading says that 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 professor opposes this point by explaining that by doing this they reduce their quality of work and stability of their work. At the time of downtown, there are the first that will loose job. And companies also prefer to give promotions and managerial post to them who works five days a week and they hire an employee who works five days a week.
