Eight Hours Research Paper

An eight hour workday seems plenty fair when the job comes with good benefits and decent pay. Some may agrue that a six hour day is more than enough but really they are losing two hours of pay and may be considered part time and some part time employees don't get the benefits full time employees do. Firstly, growing up and attending school your there for almost an eight hour day so why should a work day be any different if your used to already spending eight hours of your day learning?

Lastly, if your working a normal eight hour shift that still leaves plenty time of the day to have a evening with family or time for yourself to do what you need to, or to prepare for the next work day. Some employees get offered overtime and work a twelve hour shift, but they are getting double time for their pay and how beneficial is that to an employee who could really use that as well as healthcare or paid time off. There's a ton of benefits. Also in today's reality it is almost impossible to afford a home, the car you want, bills, or even certain things in life that you wouldn't be able to get without a full eight hours at work everyday of the week. It is my opinion that a full eight hour work day is the normal hours employees should work for full time benefits an decent pay. So in the end the eight hour shift is more
