HB 337 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Modifies provisions relating to holiday leave from work for alternative work schedules

HB 337 modifies state labor rules to allow state agencies to implement four-day, ten-hour work weeks for employees. It specifically ensures that state employees on such schedules do not have to use annual leave when a holiday falls on their regular ten-hour workday (since holidays provide eight hours of paid time off). This change directly affects state employees working under approved alternative work schedules. The bill clarifies that agencies may adopt these schedules without violating labor laws, and employees avoid making up the two-hour difference between holiday pay and their longer workday.
