H.R. 2262 — Flexibility for Workers Education Act

This section revises the exclusions from compensable hours under sections 6 and 7 of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)—previously limited to time spent changing clothes or washing at the beginning or end of the workday under the express terms or custom of a bona fide collective-bargaining agreement—to also exclude time spent attending or participating in an education or training program or similar activity (e.g., lecture), regardless of whether offered or facilitated by the employer, provided such time occurs outside the employee's regular working hours, is voluntary with no adverse action for non-attendance, and involves no work for the employer. The revision applies to hours worked on or after the date of enactment.
