[LAKISYLVANIA]

A 30 hour work week would be useful for reducing work load and associated stress, but also provides new opportunities to create new jobs and also perhaps employ people inexperienced at working (at a very accessible and flexible pace), people returning from ilness or pensioners who want to not lose touch with society or their colleagues, earn a little more cash while they would only be required to work only a few hours in a week ( 8 ) if they wish to do so, and not be overloaded. However the current act as it is, doesn't included that, but it opens the possibility of expanding that later in a separate act (which could be a flexible work week act or flexible employment as a sequel of this one).

[Senator-elect Spark]

I support this legislation. Having flexible hours in the work week will enable many to have other forms of income and ultimately stimulate the economy.
