Ontario Bill 55

43rd Parl. 1st Sess.
December 07, 2022
Four-Day Work Week Act, 2022
  • This bill is about implementing a pilot project for a four-day work week in Ontario. The COVID-19 pandemic has shown the importance of work-life balance and the negative effects of worker burnout. Many other places around the world have successfully implemented a four-day work week, leading to benefits such as improved mental and physical health, greater gender equity, and increased productivity. The Four-Day Work Week Commission will be established to develop recommendations for the pilot project, which will involve a four-day work week with a maximum of 32 hours of work. After one year, the Minister will implement the pilot project and prepare a report with recommendations for a four-day work week in Ontario. The report will be published on the Government of Ontario's website.
