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 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 morestaff 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 reading states that a mandatory policy force the companies to give and option of 4-days week with 80 percent of the salary to their current workers. The author things that it benefits the companies profits and the lives of employees and provides three reasons of support. However, the professor explains that it has no benefits for them and refutes each of the author's reasons.

First, the article states that shortened workweek would increase the companies profits. The professor refutes this point by saying that it force the companies to spend more money because the employees would work four day but their healthcare would be the same. He states that that new employees need more offices and more computers which need more money.

Second, the article avers that this strategy will bring more chance for others to have jobs. since some employees work four days of the week, the company need one employee four each four employees that decided to work four days a week. However, the professor declares that if some employees work four days a week, the company might expect them to do the same amount of job that they did in five days. According to professor this cause not only will not create more chances for jobless people, but also cause that employees become unpleasant.

Third, the article posits that four-day workweek brings better life for workers. The professor opposes this point by saying that it will bring some threat to their lives which lessen the qualities of their lives since some of them are in the risk of losing their jobs.
