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 reading passage discusses an interesting topic about the benefit of reducing working hours from five days a week for eight hours each day to four days a week, and provides three reasons for support. However, the lecture cast doubts on the claim the reading passage make by opposing to the three reasons.

First, the reading passages sustains the company profits will improve with workers more rested and alert, and in consequence, more efficient at work. Moreover, hiring extra staff for the fifth day will not represent additional cost to the company as the four-day workers' salaries are cut in a 80%. On the contrary, the lecture challenge this argument explaining that hiring new workers is always costly to a company in matters of work benefits, training and even element to provide then as computers.

Second, the reading passage argues that the reduce of day worked increment the the job offer and more workers could be hire. On the other hand, the lecture rebutted the claim by explaining that most probably the companies would force their workers to do same amount of work in less time or do some overtime with same salary to compensate the hours missing. Again, the lecture disqualify the argument of the reading passage.

Finally, the article claims that four-day worker will improve their lives with more free time to dedicate to their families or personal activities. The lecture questions this point by establishes that with less day worked in a week a employee can not advance in his or her career missing promotions and being the first to fired in case the company need to reduce cost. In this way, the lecture contradicts the reading passage point of view.
