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, replacing them with a 90-day employment threshold. It would also prohibit employers from discriminating against part-time or temporary workers in pay, benefits, or working conditions when their jobs require substantially equal skill, effort, responsibility, and duties. The bill applies to employers in commerce with more than 15 employees and includes enforcement mechanisms through the Secretary of Labor.
