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.
The passages talks about the beneficial outcomes of having employees work four-day a week but the professer in the lectures refutes that for the following reasons.
First, the passage claims that having four-day working employees would save the companies more money and benefits it's economy, but the professor disagrees with that by mentioning that this idea will force the individual companies to spend more money as they will hire more employees, taking up more office space and computers which will eventually decreasing the company's profit.
Second, the passage states that having shortened workweek would make the employees more comfortable reduce the employees errors and hiring more staff to get the work done wouldn't result in any additional costs, but the professor in the lecture argued that by suggesting to ask the employees for overtime or increase the expectations cause hiring more employees will definetly cost the company more.
Third, the passage suggests that these four-day employee would benefit from the extra free time they get in a week to enjoy their lives, but the professor disagrees with that cause he sees that decision might decrease the quality of lives of these employees by decreasing their job stability and advancement or lose their jobs and they would lose promotion opportunities.
