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
In the reading, the writer suggests the benefits of fewer payments due to reduced working time in a week. He believes the new strategy would help the companies by raising their profits, to reduce unemployment problems, and finally, the workers would be benefited as their living standard increases. The speaker utterly rejects all the conclusions made in the writing.

The speaker utterly rejects all the conclusions made in the writing.
Eliminating the amount of payment of employees, ultimately, increases the total cost of companies in spite of doing more income. Actually, recruitment of new employees would oblige the company to spend more money. These extra costs are used for ensuring additional office space, health manacles, purchasing new computers, etc, that really cut the profit.
The speaker elucidates that, the idea of the creation of new job positions will not work. It quite possible that, the companies may provide offer to the worker for overwork or they could expect the get the same amount of work at reduced workdays in a week. If it happens, the job would be much stressful, simultaneously unemployment problems remain the same. So, the economic condition will be unaffected.
The author is very hopeful on the ground that employees can have time to spend for their family, and, quality lives will be ensured. The lecturer completely holds the opposite views, he says that it absolutely raises the risk of losing their job, standards of lives would worsen. On top of that, the employees who would spend extra time for family have a lower chance to do better in the job market. The worker who does their best in the work caught the companies eyes.
