Should America transition to a four-day workweek?

No

It should be up to a company to decide, and employees can then choose themselves where they want to work

They should but only for certain sectors that are often worked, and it should also be optional rather than mandatory

Pay needs to be increased if this happens as people budget for working 5 days and the school system will have to be looked at as students need 5 days in school

Yes but it should be up to the company to determine the suitability of the 4 day working week to their business requirements

Yes, but within reason regarding the sectors/type of work. For some it is just not viable, and therefore unfair on the employee to earn the same amount in a 5 day week, as someone working a 4 day week. But is also unfair on the 4 day worker to have reduced pay if completing the same amount of work as they would in a 5 day week. Also unfair on the employer to have to pay overtime for the person working a 5 day week, when this is typical for the type of work/business.
Needs to be carefully discussed and implemented in a way where satisfies all involved.

Yes but not for teachers in schools to enable maximum learning for children. However, teachers should overtime should be paid for the fifth day of school for teachers.

Depends on the job. Teachers students lecturers snas etc. their job can unfortunately not be done in 4 days they need the time and contact hours with students

A three-day week would be more practical; it would free up people to deal with the many random issues that they would otherwise have to take time off work to deal with.

This would be nice but is not a pressing issue for Ireland

People should not work unless they want. No capitalism. But this is a step forward

No, this should be up to the employer

No, not if it's mandatory for employees who want to work longer hours.

People should work the amount of days they want to work

Only if it doesn’t stay as a 40 hour workweek If it stays at 40 hours allow the option of 4 or 5 days

I think it should be an option for every employee to consider for themselves and decide which option would be most productive and healthy for them as an individual

Such a lifestyle would be ideal for many but this is not a policy that should be enforced by government.

That is a private matter between employers and employees.

Companies can if they want

Yes, if private companies find it more productive

No, focus on increasing minimum wage and decreasing overtime, in cases where the latter is not possible, increase overtime pay

Yes, as long as working hours and salaries would remain unchanged.

No and keep the current workweek

this needs to be under review we need to be careful this wont come back on us again as this is a policy from the Labor party in the UK

It should be encouraged, but not obligatory

Im neutral on it

Depends on the industry

No, 5 days a week

Make it available as a choice for companies and organisations

Yes if the minimum and all subsequent wages were raised to the point people can live comfortably with those times

It depends on sector

For some jobs where appropriate yes

Up to individual business , not something that should be regulated in any form

Three day work week

It should be a company led decision not a government one
