Many of us are salaried and work well over 40 hours per week and I really don't see that being addressed, just hourly emplyoees. If my clients are just working 32 hours a week then I'll just twiddle my thumbs all day Friday? If you want to discuss your insurance or have questions with a claim, sorry...call back Mon-Thu? Most of my staff is offshore and that would be an incentive for companies to offshore more resources.

WTF government wants to control too much. I thought we live in a free country, oh wait people want stuff for free. I don't get it.

This is nothing new. People have been arguing for less hours for a while now, along with more pay. It’s always the least productive arguing for it.

People need to remember that if you were to average less the 32 hours in a work quarter they can cut your full time benefits, making you part time.

From what a source told me they will have to change the 40 hr pr around to compensate so yeah more time and money spent to make it easier on today's cute little Generations.

I would be happy getting down to a 60 hour work week.

And I don't get paid for OT.

The late (and unlamented) Mr. Scaife used to say, "There is not a working man alive worth twenty-five cents an hour. Working men should work for a nickel a day, a twelve hour day, and lick the boss' boots....for the privilege of having a job."

When I worked corrections we were supposed to work 4, 12 hr days with 3 days off. But, we were so understaffed that we had to sign a document committing to an additional 36 hours per month OT. In reality, I've gone weeks with no day off. You'd get a call EVERY day your were supposed to be off, begging you to come in. If you didn't say yes to a bunch of those calls, you could expect the "excrement" details when you were there.
Even with overworking the employees that much, we still had to work two and sometimes 3 stations. I can't imagine how a place like that would deal with a 32hr cap.

When I worked at Academy they put me on as part time but wanted me to work 40 hours. Saving them the cost of benefits.

If that were to happen, they would want to work from home 4 hours day with an increase in pay.
Democrats can promise anything because they will never be held accountable.

As long as some can make more by not working, Why bother working at all?

They can just print more money..............

We do 4 days a week on every other week and its pretty nice but I dont see how that can be applied across the board.

That would be nice. Son works 3x12 one week then 4x12 the next week and really enjoys that schedule though it still averages over 40 hours. But having 4 days or 3 days off each week is a benefit.

Yea I do 50-55 hours a week these days. Back when I was an engineer on execution teams (software), Id do all my work quickly and then sit around. Barely worked 40 hours but I am good at what I do which helped me to achieve that down time

Now I am on the planning side but still an engineer, more money but more work for sure.

The day off is great and I wish I only had to do 4 days every week. I am sure it will continue to move in that direction
