Require time and a half for work on the Sabbath
What the document says“Congress should encourage communal rest by amending the Fair”
The full proposal asks Congress to amend the Fair Labor Standards Act so that workers are paid time and a half for hours worked on the Sabbath, defaulting to Sunday, except for employers with a sincere religious observance at another time, to which the obligation would transfer. Houses of worship and employers legally required to operate around the clock, such as hospitals and first responders, would be exempt, as would workers otherwise exempt from overtime.
What the document actually says“Congress should encourage communal rest by amending the Fair”
Congress should help people rest on the same day. It would change the wage law.
The book wants extra pay for working on the Sabbath. That would usually be Sunday. Hospitals and emergency services would be left out.
The chapter prints its own dissent. An 'Alternative View' passage immediately after this proposal argues that government's role is to protect free exercise by removing barriers rather than erecting them, that a Sabbath premium would raise costs, limit access to goods and services, reduce work available on that day, and actually tempt some people into Sabbath work through higher wages. Both positions are the chapter's, and it resolves neither.
Read against the documents indexed here on August 26, 2026, and nothing was found that answers this. Nothing indexed comes close. No indexed law amends the Fair Labor Standards Act, and no indexed document requires premium pay for work on a Sabbath or creates the transfer and exemptions the proposal describes. The candidates matched on the words fair and act. That is a record of a search, not a finding that nothing has happened: an act this site does not hold, or one that answers the proposal in words unlike its own, would not be caught by it.
