Employers should give their staff at least four-weeks’ holiday a year to help employees get better at their jobs. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

There is an argument that employers should grant their employees around a month of paid leave to ensure that they will have better performance.

This

essay strongly disagrees with

this

opinion because giving them a long

time

off will slow down their

productivity

upon their return and companies need to hire more resources to fill in.

Firstly

,

although

providing

time

off to employees is a good thing, taking too long

time

for vacation will lower their

productivity

.

This

is because the majority of people will have to readapt their working habits,

thus

they tend to be slower in the early days upon their return to the office. Many tasks will require a longer

time

thus

the

productivity

will be lower.

This

phenomenon will negatively impact the company.

For example

, recent studies in Jakarta have shown that after two weeks of break, the majority of staff will need around two days to be back at the same working pace before they leave.

Secondly

, corporations must have more human resources to replace the staff who take

time

off.

This

is because employers cannot let the position be vacant to ensure the stability of their operational activities.

Thus

they should hire more people and

this

will cause higher expenses in salaries.

However

, adding more workers, in

this

case, does not increase the revenue,

therefore

this

measure is not profitable for employers.

For instance

, most enterprises in Jakarta only offer 12 days annual leave to their employees and national public holidays to keep the

productivity

and the profitability of the company. In conclusion,

this

essay believes that granting nearly a month of holiday to staff is not urgent because after the long break workers tend to have lower

productivity

and companies should allocate more budget to pay more resources.
