AI Summary

This bill amends the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 to reduce the standard workweek from 40 hours to 32 hours. It requires employers to pay employees time-and-a-half for any hours worked over 32 hours in a week, and double-time for any hours worked over 12 hours in a day. The bill phases in the 32-hour workweek over a 3-year period, starting with a 38-hour workweek and gradually reducing it to 32 hours. The bill also prohibits employers from reducing an employee's total compensation or benefits due to the reduced workweek requirement.
