Pilot project to study and incentivize a 4-day workweek for businesses in Maine.

The Four-day Workweek Pilot Project, administered by the Department of Labor, aims to promote and study the benefits of a 4-day workweek for employers and employees. The pilot project is open to qualifying employers who submit proposals detailing their transition plans. Participating employers must ensure employees receive a meaningful reduction in hours without loss of pay, status, or benefits. Employees may opt out of data collection. The project includes a tax credit for eligible employers and requires ongoing evaluation through surveys, interviews, and data collection.
