It’s Philadelphia, the state pays bi weekly. Your life expectancy is only 8 days, so you’ll never get the check.

What family? My wife and me both work full time. We couldn’t afford having a kid if we even wanted one.

Reply to comment by ktappe in Plan would refund 50% of road tolls for Pennsylvanians by ktappe
When the turnpike was sold to the Pennsylvania public we were told that the tolls would end as soon as the project was paid for. Then, corruption.

Maybe try reading the article instead of just the headline. The bill wouldn't force companies to reduce hours, it just provides tax credits to those that do so without reducing pay or benefits. If your employer doesn't think they can cut hours without cutting pay they just won't participate.
>Three Democratic state lawmakers are hoping to make Pennsylvania a more appealing place to work. The trio has proposed a pilot program to supply tax credits to businesses that provide a four-day, 32-hour work week to commonwealth-based employees without reducing compensation or benefits packages.

>Unless employers are legally mandated to keep pay the same
If you read the article that's exactly what the bill proposes. It provides tax credits for businesses that do a 4-day work week without reducing pay or benefits

I work in forestry virtually at the original epicenter of SLF and they're virtually not seen anymore there. I've observed a huge number of native predators going after this virtually defenseless protein packs.
And their damage was very limited even at the height of their boom.
Reality is that the quarantine won't really do much just like the Emerald Ash Borer one didn't. In the end predators will emerge in the new areas SLF infests and control the numbers.

This is how retail and food service places already operate. Most of the employees work part-time but the business is able to stay open all day every day by just scheduling people at different times

When I opened my own business, I decided I wasn’t working 40 hours a week anymore. I was working 50 when I was working for someone else and being a single mom hauling kids to different activities. I usually work 35 hours a week now and have more time for what matters. I don’t want to remember my life for how much I worked, but for the time I got to spend with my kids and significant other. My boyfriend has taken to the same philosophy and is currently working part time hours over night on the weekends so he can spend most of the week with his 100 year old grandfather.

By passing legislation that does so. I don't know the exact wording or mechanics, but there's a lot of things that companies "wouldn't do" unless they were forced.
We still have a vast majority of people in this state and country who don't have sick time. My partner is currently sick with Covid and can't take off work without being written up. It's a dystopia.

And it might not be a 3 day weekend. They might want to keep staffed on Fridays, so some people get days in the middle of the week off.

Reply to The now mostly-defunct Pathmark chain briefly had a Central Pennsylvania presence. This 1987 screengrab from a Harrisburg Patriot-News/PennLive video shows the Pathmark location in Lower Paxton Township. This location closed sometime in the early 90s. They also had locations in York and Camp Hill by AxlCobainVedder

That would be a good next step. If you go to the ArcGIS link you can play around with layers and see for yourself, too
