Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) on Wednesday introduced a bill to establish a standard four-day workweek in the United States without any reduction in pay.
The bill, over a four-year period, would lower the threshold required for overtime pay, from 40 hours to 32 hours. It would require overtime pay at a rate of 1.5 times a worker’s regular salary for workdays longer than 8 hours, and it would require overtime pay at double a worker’s regular salary for workdays longer than 12 hours.
The Thirty-Two Hour Workweek Act would also protect workers’ pay and benefits to ensure there’s no loss in pay, according to a press release.
Might not impact you directly, but as other companies would adopt benefits of it, employees at your company would start to leave for companies that are adjusting their schedule. They’d either be forced to adjust, or risk hitting unsustainable attrition rates
Checks Notes. Welp a ton of companies are already there with RTO.
