Should America transition to a four-day workweek?

Yes, and require overtime pay for work over four days per week

NOOO! Because then those days have longer hours. 40 hrs of full-time work is NOT sustainable no matter how those hours are distributed.

test if it works, if we see a noticeable decrease, then no. If people produce a similar amount of work, or exact same, why not keep it in place

No, but increase the paid vacation that employees are entitled to: making it more similar to Europe.

Yes, but there should be an expansion for required benefits in industries that are primarily staffed by hourly workers who would be unaffected by the 4 day week (ie: recreation or food service) and instead see an increase in demand.

I would support this is some cases. However, the structure of a four day workweek would have to be better outlined for me to make a decision. As long as productivity and wages don't dip, I am all for it.

No but we should look at alternative work options which support parents, adults looking after seniors or dependants, etc.

Only if workweek hours are reduced accordingly. A four-day workweek must mean 8 hours a day, 4 days a week. We'd rather work 8 hours a day 5 days a week than 10 hours a day 4 days a week.

Yes, but it is up to the business as many industries cannot realistically function logistically on a four day work week.

Yes, anything more than 6 hours a day or 4 days a week or after youve worked 36 hours should be overtime pay, anything after 10 hours a day should be double time pay. we should also not tax workers at all for overtime and double time pay.

No, let companies decide for themselves what works best, but they should definitely pay for overtime, ie hours beyond a regular working day.

No, but make rest and breaks more socially acceptable.

should increase pay if they which to a 4 day workweek

6 Day work week.

Companies should be free to run their operations as they please as long as it is within labour standards

Yes, but wages must match what they would make for a 40 hour work week, and after 32 hours should be overtime pay

Yes, but need a plan for teachers.

Only if the equivalent amount of work is still achieved

No, but incentivize work days that do not have to be 8 hour shifts.

Allow companies to make that decision themselves.

Yes, with alternating shifts, so they stay open 5 days a week.

Yes, but time should be allocated towards betterment of ones self. such as gym, better meal prepping, etc. workers comp should also be reduced with this work week.

Doesn’t apply to shift workers therefore I can’t empathize nor do I care.

yes, if companies are required to maintain annual salaries, grant overtime for additional time, maintain sickdays and holidays and are banned from outsourcing/contracting work to "make up the lost productivity"

It should test the waters first

Yes but, only for certain jobs

depends on

Yes, if wages increase to match

Yes, and also to schools, too.

Yes, because it will save government expenses, and positively impact employees' performance and their mental health, provided that it will not reduce their wages.

Yes, as long as it applies to schools as well.

Yes, but only once a month

Yes, if it will reduce costs in the public sector, no input if no financial gains. Leave the private sector alone.

No, this would cause problems in terms of childcare, but mandatory sick days should be increased

Yes but only if wages are increased and daily hours are reduced

Do a comprehensive study prior to a transition.

Yes, if countries with a four-day workweek show that the policy doesn't inflict major economic harm.

workers and employers should be able to decide for themselves

This should be negotiated between employee and employer

Yes, but not government workers.

Conduct a pilot project

Prefers no change but no oppositions

A choice should be put down, if a human wants to work 4 days, work 4 days. If 5 days a week work 5 days a week

This should be researched

Encourage employers and employees to come to a personal agreement to work as needed or desired to complete a goal, task, project, or fulfill other personal economic obligations.

We could definitely try it for a while

This is a complex issue that requires more context and evidence

honestly I personally don't really care

Yes depending on the occupation

We need to seriously look at this .

Yes, but no i think it should be a case by case company by company affair, work should be a constant affair for the company but limited on the individual worker, 24/7 shifts but not for every person, more employed less hours individually workd

Yes, with the support of a universal basic income

Leave it up to individual citizens and organizations.

Perhaps keep it an optional choice, because some people need the extra hours

No, but this should be a flexibility companies can decide on.

Yes, as long as employees are not exploited by having to agree to an increased number of working hours per week

Yes, as long as employees are not exploited by the requirement of an increased number of working hours per week

Yes, as long as employees are not exploited by an increased number of required working hours per week

Yes, as long as employees are not exploited by being required to work an increased number of total weekly working hours on a regular basis

Yes, as long as employees are not exploited by being required to work an increased number of total weekly hours on a regular basis

Yes, as long as workers are not exploited by being required to work more than forty hours per week on a regular basis

Yes, as long as this is not used to exploit employees into working longer hours within a more compressed time frame

Yes, as long as this is not used to require and exploit more than standard working hours for employees within a more condensed time frame

Yes, as long as this is not used to exploit and require more than the standard amount of employee working hours in a typical week

If some businesses deem it beneficial

Yes, as long as this is not used to exploit and require more than the standard amount of working hours for employees within a more condensed time frame

Individual businesses should make their own determination on the matter

Yes, but only to have one day a week to spend with families is important for children

It depends on the job.

It depends on the job. Or if the people want it to happen.

Maintain 5-day work weeks, but decrease work hours.

That should be decided by the states or company

Should be up to the company.

Possibly but more details would need to be worked out

If that is what the workers want.

Yes, but only if there is one more hour added.

Regardless, it should be left up to the companies.

need to know more

Yes, it is better for economic stability and personal health. But additionally, we should offer double pay for people who continue to work on Friday.

Yes, for rich people

Yes, as long as this is not used to require and exploit longer working hours for employees within a more condensed time frame

Private businesses should have the ability to do this, but government jobs should not.

No, different jobs have different needs at different places. People know how much money they need and how many hours they need to work to get the money. Choose a job according to your skills and financial need.

Yes, but the government shouldn't make decisions for private businesses

No, different jobs have different needs at different places. People know how much money they need and how many hours they need to work to get the money, depending on their skills and financial need.

Regardless, the government should not tell private businesses how many days to work in a week. We have sufficient laws in place for this.

Let companies make this decision for themselves.

Let's see what happens in the other countries and then experiment with it if it is worth it. It is worth it if it increases GDP and/or significantly improves mental health and family ties.

Yes, the day taken off should be Wednesday.

Switch to a thirty-hour work week of five six-hour days, and raise wages accordingly.

No, but they should encourage companies to do so.

No, but replace Saturday with Wednesday as a "Weekend Day"

Yes, but shortening the workday would be better

No, wait and see if there are proven benefits

This is a question for employers and employees to answer for themselves.
