MASSACHUSETTS LAWMAKERS EXPLORING 4-DAY WORKWEEK Posted on Jan 25, 2024, on Employment by Brody and Associates, Robert G. Brody and Mark J. Taglia Massachusetts legislators are currently considering a bill aimed at promoting four-day work weeks within the state. This innovative initiative, known as the Massachusetts Smart Week pilot program, intends to incentivize employers through tax credits for their participation in a two-year pilot program which requires them to share their outcomes with the state for future analysis. The program aims to provide valuable insights into the potential impact of a four-day workweek on both employers and employees. Companies that volunteer to participate in the program are asked to remain in the program for the full two-year trial period to assess the feasibility and impact of the plan. As part of the program, participating employers will not be permitted to reduce the pay of participating employees. https://lnkd.in/eMQ7j6Tg
