Your employer is considering ways to adjust work hours and reduce them overall. You have been asked to provide suggestions on how to implement this change. Write a letter to your employer. In your letter Explain why you think reducing work hours is a good idea. Suggest how the work hours could be reduced. Describe how these changes could benefit the company.
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing
this
letter to advise on the adjustment for working hours
at the workplace and effective ways to implement them.
To begin
with, I believe that the reduction of working hours
is an extremely good suggestion. As it will allow the employees to balance work and life and give additional time for recreation. Therefore
, I highly agree to follow and plan for further
implementation.
The work hour can be reduced on weekends by 4 hours
. That means, the employee can work only 4 hours
on Friday in addition
to Saturday and Sunday Weekly off. Nevertheless
, this
can be compensated by decreasing the employee annual leaves on a prorated basis.
These changes will definitely be beneficial for the company. Since employees will leave early by 4 hours
on Friday, as a result
, the electricity consumption will be reduced. Also
, other utility costs will come down. Moreover
, the expenses related to the pantry will also
be minimized as employees will reduce their consumption due to
early leaving the office.
I think that the above suggestions can be further
discussed and reviewed.
Yours faithfully,
