Thirty-Two Hour Workweek Act

This bill would change federal wage law so that covered employees must be paid overtime at one and one-half times their regular rate for hours worked beyond 32 in a week, instead of beyond 40. It would also require overtime pay at one and one-half times the regular rate for hours worked beyond 8 in a day, and double the regular rate for hours beyond 12 in a day. The weekly limit would be phased in over several years, starting at 38 hours and dropping by two hours each year until it reaches 32. Employers could not cut employees' pay rates or other benefits because of these changes.
