An act relating to establishing a 32-hour workweek

This bill proposes to change the standard workweek from 40 hours to 32 hours, requiring employers to pay overtime for any hours worked beyond that threshold. It directly affects employers and employees in Vermont by amending state labor laws to redefine full-time work expectations. Key provisions include adjusting overtime pay calculations, limiting child labor hours to 32 per week, modifying earned sick time accrual rates based on the new 32-hour standard, and updating definitions for short-time compensation programs. The changes would take effect on July 1, 2024.
