State employees: workweek.

Existing law states that it is the policy of the state that the workweek of the state employee shall be 40 hours and the workday of state employees 8 hours, except as specified. This bill would require the Government Operations Agency, in consultation with the Department of Human Resources, to evaluate how a 4-day workweek, including, but not limited to, a 32-hour workweek, can be implemented for state employees to improve their quality of work, health, and lifestyle. The bill would require the Government Operations Agency, on or before January 1, 2026, to prepare and submit to the Legislature a report on its evaluation, as prescribed.
