Small businesses typically have exceptions carved out (i.e. rules don't apply to companies under 50 employees).

Once the companies get larger, you just strategically set-up the work schedules such that people only show up four days a week but all shifts are covered.

Even if the rules don't apply to them, that means that as an employee, I can choose a small company and have to work five days, or choose a large company and have to work only four days for the same pay. This will make it even tougher for small businesses to hire workers.
