I believe that this amendment would provide greater flexibility for both employers and employees.

The Day Off Bill
Section A. This bill will be known as the Day Off Bill.
Section B. No employer can schedule an employee for more than 6 days a week, without additional compensation.
Section C. Compensation can include but isn't limited to double time pay for days in excess of 6 days, or additional annual leave in lieu of that day off. Family members of family-owned businesses are exempt.
Section D. This bill will take place effective immediate on the one month after the signing of this bill by the President.

[Vice President Christian Man]

Thank you Speaker Sirius,

This bill along with the 30 hour work week that I cosponsored will allow employees to have time off, so that they can have a day to enjoy life rather than purely living to work. Companies have taken advantage of their employees, often forcing them to work daily and in some cases upwards of 60 hours a week and this will give employees a needed day to recharge and relax.

[Dr. MB]

I guess what's the exception for firefighters etc who work a shift of a few days on and then a few days off? Otherwise I totally support 100%

Are we to assume Muaddib's amendment was adopted? If so, I think that version would be reasonable enough to merit being passed.

[Vice President Christian Man]

First amendment: On-call professionals including medical professionals, law enforcement, and firefighters who must  be available to work during life or death situations will be exempt.
