An Act to implement a 4 day work week in the Commonwealth

This bill proposes to change Massachusetts state law to require employers to limit the standard workweek to four days and 32 hours instead of the current five days and 40 hours. It directly affects employees and employers by amending existing statutes that define regular working hours and overtime thresholds across various employment categories. Under the new rules, any work performed beyond the 32-hour limit would automatically qualify as overtime, requiring payment at a rate of at least one and a half times the employee's regular hourly wage. The legislation aims to formalize a shorter standard work schedule while maintaining protections for workers who must work longer hours.
