32-Hour Workweek Could Soon Be Colorado Law

The idea of a four-day workweek seems nice, but is it realistic? Lawmakers have been debating both the positive and negative effects of a four-day workweek.

40-Hour Workweek in Colorado

Equal Pay For Less Work in Colorado

Senator Bernie Sanders introduced a bill recently to the U.S. Senate. Reportedly, there is a lot of support to make a 32-hour workweek a reality rather than a pipe dream.

The bill says a 32-hour week would be the maximum hours for an employee to work. Any more hours than that would require overtime pay.

A four-day, 32-hour workweek could be phased into the Colorado workforce. If all goes well, working for four days a week will be normal within the next four years.
