Bill > HB954

This bill, known as the Flexible Working Arrangements Act, provides employees with the right to request flexible working arrangements from their employer, such as changes in the number of days or hours worked, arrival and departure times, or work-from-home options. The bill imposes duties on the Department of Labor and Industry to enforce the law and promulgate regulations for its implementation. Employers must consider such requests in good faith and can only deny them if the requested arrangement would be inconsistent with business operations. The bill prohibits retaliation against employees who make such requests and establishes penalties for employer violations, including a warning letter for the first violation and an administrative fee of up to $500 for subsequent violations.
