What it does
The Part-Time Worker Bill of Rights Act would extend family and medical leave protections to part-time workers by eliminating the current 1,250-hour and 12-month eligibility requirements under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), replacing them with a 90-day employment threshold. It would also prohibit discrimination against employees based on the number of hours worked and ensure equitable treatment in hiring, promotion, and workplace practices for part-time and temporary workers. The bill applies to employers in commerce and includes enforcement mechanisms through the Secretary of Labor, with most provisions taking effect one year after enactment.
