HR 6818

This bill, the Part-Time Worker Bill of Rights Act, aims to extend protections to part-time workers by expanding access to family and medical leave and ensuring they receive fair treatment in the workplace. Specifically, it eliminates the hours of service requirement for FMLA leave, clarifies definitions related to employment and employers, and mandates that employers offer work to existing employees before hiring new ones. The bill also prohibits discrimination based on hours worked and establishes remedies for violations, including potential civil penalties.
