HR 1084 United States House · 118th Congress

Flexibility for Workers Education Act

This bill amends the Fair Labor Standards Act to exclude time spent attending voluntary, outside-of-work-hour training or education programs from employees' paid work hours. It directly affects workers who participate in such programs and their employers, clarifying that this time does not count toward overtime calculations. Key provisions require the training to occur outside regular work hours, be truly voluntary (with no negative impact on employment), and not involve any productive work for the employer. The change creates a clear policy exception for non-paid training attendance, shifting how employers track hours for these specific activities.
