This bill would phase the standard full-time workweek down from 40 to 32 hours over 3 years, starting 180 days after it becomes law. Employers would have to pay overtime after the new weekly limits, after 8 hours in a day, and double pay after 12 hours in a day. For newly covered workers employers could not cut weekly pay or benefits just because the hours threshold changed. This could give workers more free time and raise labor costs for businesses.
