Bill > HR122

This Resolution directs the Legislative Budget and Finance Committee to conduct a thorough analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of a four-day workweek for state employees, considering factors like cost savings and employee satisfaction, drawing on historical efforts to shorten workweeks and recent successful trials in other companies. It also mandates recommendations for creating a group of state agencies to discuss modern work practices, innovation, and employee well-being, and for designing a trial program to test a four-day workweek, flexible hours, or remote work (telework) for Commonwealth employees, with the committee consulting various state departments, academic experts in economics and labor relations, and potentially private sector contractors, and reporting its findings and proposals to the General Assembly within 180 days.
