Employers should give their workers at least one month of holiday a year as it makes them do better at their job. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

It is argued that employees should be given at least one month of
holiday
 on a yearly basis in order to encourage them to
work
 more effectively. In my opinion, I totally disagree with
this
 view on account of some reasons below.
First
 of all, a long vacation can make
people
 find it more difficult to resume their
work
. To be more specific, workers are likely to be lazy and unmotivated to start to
work
 again after a long period of immersing themselves in enjoying the relaxation and excitement in their lives.
This
 can be exemplified by the case of Vietnamese
people
 who can have a two-week
holiday
 on the occasion of traditional Tet. The lively and bustling atmosphere of Tet can affect
people
’s emotions, making them bored and frustrated when getting back to offices.
In other words
, giving a long vacation for employees can leave negative implications for
work
 productivity and the companies’ revenue
in particular
 and the national economy which can be disrupted in general.
However
, some
people
 hold an argument that workers can take a rest and escape from
work
 pressure, giving them a good opportunity to refresh and
work
 with more positive energy and attitudes. Having said that, I am still convinced that one month of
holiday
 every year may be too long, and it puts
people
 under stress from financial burden
instead
 of relaxation.
In particular
,
people
 may not make money to cover their bills in a month when they have days off since very few businesses are willing to give rewards or pay salary for employees on
holiday
.
Therefore
,
people
, especially those who have average or low income will struggle to earn money to survive through a long vacation. In conclusion, having a
holiday
 is essential for workers to rest and recharge their batteries to perform better in their jobs, yet I strongly believe that a one-month
holiday
 is unjustifiable due to the aforementioned reasons.
