An Act relative to a four-day work week pilot program
This bill establishes Massachusetts' "Smart Work Week Pilot" to test four-day work weeks for qualifying private employers. It requires employers with at least 15 employees to apply, transition to a four-day schedule without pay cuts, and allow employees to opt out. The program runs for at least two years, collecting data on worker well-being and business impacts through surveys and interviews. Participating employers may receive a tax credit (excluding public-sector employers) based on their transition costs and data submission. The pilot aims to study whether this model benefits both workers and businesses.
