An Act relative to a four-day work week pilot program

Massachusetts SD 317 establishes the "Massachusetts Smart Work Week Pilot" program to test a four-day work week for private employers. It allows qualifying private businesses (with at least 15 employees) to adopt a four-day schedule without reducing pay, benefits, or status, while requiring them to collect employee data through surveys and interviews. The program includes a two-year pilot with annual reports on impacts, and participating employers may receive a tax credit for maintaining the schedule for at least one year. Public employers cannot join the pilot or claim the tax credit.
