Four-Day Work Week: Challenges and Complexities

 

Before implementing a four-day workweek, make sure you understand the legal and practical implications.

The issues with four-day work weeks from a wage and hour standpoint vary depending on whether the employee is exempt or non-exempt. For non-exempt employees, under federal law, there are no substantial issues with implementing a four-day week.  However, some state laws are more problematic if hours worked during workday go up (e.g., from 8 to 10).  In particular, some states and territories require payment of overtime for hours worked in excess of eight hours per day (e.g., Alaska, California, Nevada, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands).  While provisions can be made for alternative work weeks, the process is often cumbersome. This white paper reviews the requirements that employers must follow before implementing an alternative work schedule.
