AB118,1,2 1An Act to create 103.85 (2) (g) of the statutes; relating to: permitting an
2employee to voluntarily choose to work without one day of rest in seven.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, an employer that owns a factory or mercantile
establishment, subject to certain exceptions, must allow every person employed in
the establishment to take at least 24 consecutive hours of rest in every seven
consecutive days (one day of rest in seven). This bill permits an employee to
voluntarily choose to work without one day of rest in seven.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
