This bill would reduce the standard workweek in the United States from 40 hours to 32 hours by amending the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938. The change would be implemented gradually over a three-year period, starting at 38 hours per week about six months after the bill becomes law, then dropping to 36 hours in year two, 34 hours in year three, and finally 32 hours after year three. Any hours worked beyond the standard workweek would require employers to pay overtime compensation at time-and-a-half rates for workdays up to 12 hours and double-time rates for workdays exceeding 12 hours. The bill would affect most employees covered by federal wage and hour laws and includes a provision preventing employers from reducing workers' total weekly compensation or benefits during this transition. The legislation was introduced in September 2026 and referred to the House Committee on Education and Workforce.
