Workers would get more predictable schedules and the right to request changes without fear of losing their job.
This bill would give many workers more control over their schedules and protect them from sudden changes. It would let employees ask for different work hours or locations without fear of punishment. For certain jobs, employers would need to give advance notice of schedules and pay extra for last-minute changes or short breaks between shifts.
Today, many workers, especially in retail and food service, often get their schedules with less than two weeks' notice, and about one-third get less than one week's notice. If this bill becomes law, workers in these and other specific fields would get their schedules at least 14 days in advance. Employers would also have to pay $75 per day for failing to provide this notice and offer extra pay for last-minute schedule changes or shifts that are too close together.
