Bill > H3599

This bill aims to implement a 4-day work week in the Commonwealth. The key provisions of the bill are: 1. Reducing the standard work week from 5 days and 40 hours to 4 days and 32 hours for various types of employment, including public sector and certain private sector jobs. 2. Requiring employers to pay overtime compensation (at a rate of at least 1.5 times the regular rate) for any hours worked in excess of 32 hours per week, unless otherwise specified by law. 3. Making various amendments to existing state laws to reflect the new 4-day, 32-hour work week as the standard. The bill aims to provide a better work-life balance for employees by reducing the standard work week, while also requiring employers to compensate employees for any overtime work beyond the new 32-hour limit.
