Advantages And Disadvantages Of Six Day Working In Afghanistan

Why is our traditional five day week changing to a four day week? Any reason? A four day week would result in extra hours of work, interference with family schedules and much more. In any case what’s the problem with the five day school week? The customary five day school week should stay without any alterations. There are many reasons that support the understanding of having a five day school week instead of changing it into a four day school week. Firstly, people are already used to the five day week and might have to put some changes to their regular habits. Secondly, parents at work would have a very hard time to find a person to take care of their child

Don’t you just love three day weekends? Getting more time off from school and having more time to spend with friends and family. Studies have shown that four day weeks can improve the work environment, from helping save money, to people getting better health. Although some people may say that it is taking time away from learning, work, and other things, the pros are much greater than the cons; therefore, every week should be a three day weekend.

Before introducing the workplace issues related to the development of four-day workweek, a clear definition of this schedule is needed. According to Department of Labor (n.d.), “A workweek is a fixed and regularly recurring period of 168 hours, or seven consecutive 24-hour periods. The workweek does not have to coincide with the calendar week, but instead it may begin on any day of the week and at any hour of the day.” It might be the “four-day, 32-hour workweek – more leisure, less work” (Wernette 1), or the “three-day, 40 hour, compressed work week” that Vega

Times have changed since 1914 and we are still having issuses when it comes to the work environment. Both articles have made strong arguments; on what would be the best solution and how it would benfit not only the workers but the employers as well. However I agree that six hour days would not work. Either the workers lose two hour wages everyday or the employers hire more wokers for the jobs that are not being done due to only having six hours. All of the employees that they are forced to hire would not get a quarter of their pay because they are not full time. The people that only work the six hours would not be able to get health plans the full time workers are entitled to. Not having health care is stressful; that is living with the worry

I think that the United States could go to the six hour work day. People in the past have done it and it was a huge success. During the Industrial Revolution people had to work 11-12 hours each day with little pay. Later on in the 1900s, Henry Ford changed the work hours for his employees and they showed great amounts of success. Ford doubled their pay and they did the work 2 times faster and more efficiently.

According to the passage, I believe it is important to work six hours a day with the appropiate break time. It will reduce stress and fatigue as well. It is also, healthier for our

The scheduling of hours of work is undoubtedly one of the major social problems of industrial society. Statistic estimates that 30% of Canada's workforce are involved in some kind of shiftwork. Of those, 33% work irregular shifts, just under 30% work rotating shifts, 17% work long term evening shifts, 10% work on call, 3% work split shifts, 3% work long term night shifts and just over 3% are classed as "other". Present estimates tell us that before the trend slows, fully 35% of the workforce will work some type of shiftwork (Siroonian 123). Companies are feeling the need to maximize their efficiency by spreading their operating costs over 24 hours. However, on the other hand, working other than the standard

In our stress ridden country, so focused on the hustle and bustle of work, we have lost sight of how to relax, and enjoy family time. With a six hour workday people can enjoy work, and life off-duty without feeling like they have to trade one for the other. Change will take time, and be difficult, but it is

While officer fatigue is less frequently an issue under the 5-8 shift plan, it is not with out drawbacks. Under this shift plan, many officers are permanently assigned the same days off each week, rarely allowing them to have weekends off when most other individuals are. When a weekend is offered, there is the potential chance that the officer will be scheduled for court due to the fixed nature of this shift plan. Additionally, calls-for-service that come towards the end of a shift have long response times, and are in turn passed on to the incoming shift, potentially adding stress to the officers coming on shift, leading to decreased morale levels amongst some officers. Although, the 5-8 plan is more cost efficient with equipment and resource

Among the many labor issues in America today, one of the most prominent being discussed is that of shorter shifts. Traditionally, eight-hour shifts were used to create a time frame for work; this seemed to cause better productivity and happier workers.
