Bill > S09443

This bill establishes a four-day workweek pilot program for state employees, requiring the division of the budget and the state department of civil service to identify state agencies or jobs where a four-day workweek would be feasible and beneficial for at least sixty percent of the employees. The program aims to implement this new schedule by October 1, 2029, with provisions for negotiating with employee unions if applicable, ensuring that employees do not have their work hours reduced below thirty-six hours per week or experience a decrease in pay or benefits as a direct result of the transition. By October 1, 2030, a report will be submitted to the governor and legislature detailing the implementation status, its impact on vacancy rates and agency budgets, and any other relevant information.
