Integrated Writing
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.
Questions:
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?
The readings suggest that in usa four day work week should be adopted since it will boost the profit of the companies and also will be better for the employees bu the listening part argues with the statements provided in the reading part and provide three main reasons why the 4 days work week might not be more effective than five day work week and can also me more costly for the companies. It does that by providing three reasons
Firstly, according to the person by four days work week the salary of each employee might be the eighty percent of the original and the new hired employees will also be paid eighty percent but the cost of the health insurance and the training of the employees will remain the same for each new employee either it’s a four day work week or a five day work week also to adjust those employees in the office more work space will be required, more equipments will be required and this will cost a lot to the company and in this case five days work week will be more beneficial for the company.
Secondly, Not all employees will follow the four day work week, some might work for five days, company can also allow them to work overtime to do same amount of work that they use to do in five days in this case no new opportunities will be created.
Thirdly, the person says that the job stability of the employees working for four days will be more in-stable than those who work for five days a week, if company has to reduce the staff for some reason four days workers will be the first to loose the job, also the chances of their promotion will be less than those who work for five days since company will want someone who is more consistent and nows the company better.
