>> a new bill making its way through the california state legislature calls for an end to the classic five-day workweek. changing the definition of a workweek from 40 hours too. 32 hours, this law would only apply to companies with more than 500 employees and still a lot of questions about this. >> joining us now, one of the authors of the bill san jose assembly member evan low high oven. i think this is the kind of thing people will love you workers. well, if you call it off, if it passes, maybe employers not so much in a nutshell. how would it work >> well, happy friday to you both. if this bill wants to place, it would be happy thursday. look, we all recognize the importance of providing as much flexibility for the worker, especially as we come out of the covid pandemic, recognizing that there's the great resignation. how do we ensure that we provide an opportunity for individuals, workers to help

6:17 pm
demanding and looking for the leverage of they have for an this is the approach that we're looking to do to help ensure that we're creating an environment in that regard. so this is the first step as we've introduced this legislation based upon a number of companies that have already done this and implemented this in practice. >> evan, you know that opponents are arguing it would be bad for things like a sales and service job growth. the upside, i guess it's fairly obvious. but what are you telling critics? >> but what's important is that we help to recognize, well, why do we have great resignation? what do younger workers look for to help provide for their families? we also recognize that during this covid pandemic that much was possible due to technology and remote working. so how do we ensure that not only do we have the opportunity for individuals to? focused on their work at hand, but also having the type balance as
6:18 pm

6:19 pm
understand this. could they work fewer hours but still be paid the same or is that understood that be losing money? >> no, this is the same salary. it's in compensation. but under a 32 hour framework, we, of course, need to work out. the distinction between that of soured and now early, the current bill also applies to companies with 500 or more employees. so we recognize the impact, a small business. this is in its inception. this is the proposal in its beginning stages. and as it moves the process, we, of course, will heal or hear from a number of different stakeholders as it relates to the type of support and also the accommodations on what makes most sense because we know that big businesses versus small businesses. we need to make sure that we recognize the impact, a small business as well. >> evan low, good luck. yeah. assemblyman from san jose. it's a fascinating idea and certainly one that i think a lot of people are interested
