The employer provided 24 consecutive hours off work in each of weeks 4 and 5, and so there isn’t a violation as far as these weeks are concerned, either. Note, however, that had the worker not had 24 consecutive hours off work in week four, the employer would have had to ensure that the worker not solely had forty eight consecutive hours off in week 3, but in addition 48 consecutive hours off in week 5. The employer on this instance has done that, and so there is not a violation so far as weeks 1, 2 and 3 are concerned. If an employer does not present a minimal of 24 consecutive hours off work in a selected work week, the employer must present no less than 48 consecutive hours off work in each two-week interval that incorporates that particular work week. We are a not-for-profit coalition of business leaders, neighborhood strategists, designers, and advocacy thought leaders invested in the transition to reduced working hours. Now greater than ever it is vital that we all help the small businesses in our group as we all continue to cope with the challenges of the pandemic.
