Employment Freedom and Flexibility Act of 2024
Rationale
Adults deserve the freedom to negotiate their own hours, wages, sick leave, and terms of dismissal — not a single state formula for everyone. This Act frees adult labor markets and brings dismissal and sick pay rules in line with a competitive, growing economy.
