Marylanders could get a shorter workweek under new bill
Can you imagine not working on Fridays? Have you ever thought about having a four day work week?
It could be possible under this new bill in the General Assembly.
But is it better than our current 5 day work week?
That is what lawmakers are trying to figure out.
The new bill proposes a pilot program that would study a shift to a four-day workweek for both private and public workers.
If passed, the pilot program would begin July 1, and expire in 2028.
According to The Four-Day Workweek Act of 2023, business would need to shift at least 30 employees, and not have any prior plans to shorten the workweek. Additionally, workers cannot see a drop in pay or benefits from the standard five-day week.
The Department of Labor would determine the tax credit amount businesses would get.
So are you down for the four day work week or what?
I’d give it a go…
