This bill establishes a two-year pilot program for a four-day workweek for certain State employees in New Jersey's executive branch, aimed at studying the benefits and impacts of this revised work schedule. The program will be voluntary and will require a staggered schedule to ensure adequate staffing throughout the week. Employees participating in the pilot will maintain their current pay, benefits, and status, and any changes for employees in bargaining units will necessitate a signed agreement between the employer and the bargaining unit. The implementation of the program must not result in increased personnel costs or reduced service delivery.

Participating entities will conduct periodic employee surveys to assess changes in employee satisfaction, stress levels, and other relevant metrics. The Commissioner of the Department of Labor and Workforce Development, along with the Chair of the Civil Service Commission, will report to the Governor and the Legislature on the pilot program's implementation, including survey results and recommendations on whether to continue, expand, or make the program permanent. The bill emphasizes the importance of maintaining service levels and operational performance throughout the pilot.
