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 article states that employees who work four-day workweek would benefit the economy as a whole as well as the individual companies, and provides three reasons for support. However, the professor explains that this would not affect the as same the article states and refutes each of authors reasons.

First, the reading claims that this well increase company profits because employees would feel more rested and alert .the professor refutes this point by saying that company has to spend much more money on medical benefits, spaces for work and office computer .

Secondly, the article posits that by this company will hire more staff and so decrease overworked and error .however, the professor says that this will increase expectation from worker by company and not must the additional job well present .

third , the reading says that more free time for employee to spend with family and do enjoyable activities,the professor opposes this point by explaining that quality of life will decrease by decrease their ability in less time working as well as worker well be at hight risk on loosing their job in economy outdown ,we also learn that worker may passed over for promotion.
