The "standing is tiring (sit) act" mandates employers to offer suitable seats to employees when seated work is reasonable. It prohibits employers from designing workspaces that necessitate standing when seated work is possible. The Department of Labor must determine if seated work is feasible and will create educational materials and signage about employee rights. Employers must post these materials and provide them to new hires. Employees can file complaints online, and the Department will investigate and fine non-compliant employers.
