AI Summary
This bill, the Thirty-Two Hour Workweek Act, amends the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 to reduce the standard workweek from 40 hours to 32 hours. Specifically, it requires employers to pay overtime at one and a half times the regular rate for any hours worked over 32 hours per week or 8 hours per day, and double the regular rate for any hours over 12 hours per day. The law would be phased in over 3 years, reducing the standard workweek by 2 hours each year until reaching 32 hours. The bill also adds references to "workday" in the existing law to account for the new daily overtime requirements.
