Shelton Schedules Hearing On 4-Day Week

State agencies and their employees will have a chance to discuss the possibility of moving to a four-day workweek at a public hearing at the State Capitol Wednesday, July 9th. The meeting will be held in room 432A from 10 a.m. until noon, Rep. Mike Shelton, D-Oklahoma City, announced today.

Shelton and officials of the Oklahoma Public Employees Association (OPEA) have been at the forefront of a national push to allow government employees to work condensed schedules that, they said, could save money for employees and agencies, as well as taxpayers.

A survey on the OPEA website shows most state employees favor the idea.
