A Pennsylvania state lawmaker has proposed a change of legislation that would implement a four day workweek

State Representative G. Roni Green says she hops to reduce the standard workweek from 40 hours to 32 hours per week.

The change would impact only businesses that have more than 500 employees and ensure there is no reduction in pay for workers and exclude local and mid size businesses.

Republican Representative Dawn Keefer said the move being pushed by Madsen would be the Government 'interjecting itself in an area where I don't think we belong.'

With regards to the four day work week, Keefer told abc: 'The government continues to give you more and incentivizes you not to work, I think we create the problem.'

They can work four days at 10 hours.

not always.

some states dictate overtime based on 8 hour workdays.

that would be forcing companies to pay 2 hours of overtime, per person, per day for hourly employees.

which could be a huge financial burden

If we could get 32 hours of actual work time out of some people, that would be an improvement.

When I worked at a big six firm in the mid to late 90s, I averaged about 60 hour work weeks. Usually there at night till about 7-9 ish, quite a few weekends.

I was a hell of a lot younger then though.

Well, when I started, they were the Big 8, lol. I am not the sharpest person, but when I would drop by the office on Saturday or Sunday to turn in time sheets or expense reports, I noticed a huge percentage of the partners were working. Every single time. So, I bailed early, lol. Not to say I didn't work long hours once I was on my own, but I controlled that, not somebody else.

Well, I had work that was due for clients, so I couldn't just bail on doing my work. But yeah, a lot of times the partners and principles were there on the weekends too.

I think the 4-day work week is coming. Hell, it sounds like many already do it via WFH.
