Enacts the "standing is tiring (sit) act" to require employers to provide suitable seats to employees where work reasonably permits seated work.
The bill enacts the "standing is tiring (sit) act" to amend the labor law. It requires employers to provide suitable seats to all employees where the nature of their work reasonably permits seated work. Employers are prohibited from designing workspaces to require standing if they could reasonably be designed for seated work. The Department of Labor must determine whether the nature of work reasonably permits seated work, considering factors such as task performance from a chair, job performance interference, and workspace layout.
