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 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.
Both the reading and the lecture present an concept that reducing the
employee's work hour either improves the profits of the businesses or not.
According to the passage, reducing workload with employee's salary eventually raises
income, lowers unemployment problems and enhances the quality of employees' lives.
Still, the speaker denies completely
all the conclusions of the passage.
The reading suggests businesses will make more profit if the new strategy of
reducing the employee's pay is set as a weekly basis for decreasing work hours.
On the contrary, professor argues that it simply raises the costs
that new workers on the ground have to meet the requirements.
The writer mentions reducing the problems of unemployment, the speaker implies a conflicting idea by doing this, the situation could increase
the worth of the company, the workers provided overtime or would have done the same amount of work at reduced working hours.
There are no new work positions
that will increase in this situation.
Lastly, in perusing, writer believes quality of life has improved a lot, but the lecturer mentions another reason
to refute the argument, according to speaker, while increasing quality of life, it would increase the risk of jobs.
