Lets workers request schedule changes and gives some employees more predictable hours and extra pay.
This bill would let employees of businesses with 15 or more workers ask their bosses for changes to their work schedules without fear of punishment. It would also give certain workers, like those in retail or hospitality, more predictable hours and extra pay for last-minute changes or split shifts. Employees of businesses with 15 or more workers would also have the right to decline shifts that start too soon after their last one.
Today, many workers face unpredictable schedules, often receiving little notice of their work hours and having limited control over changes. If this bill becomes law, employees of businesses with 15 or more workers would gain the right to request schedule changes, and employers would have to seriously consider these requests. Certain workers in specific industries would also get their schedules at least 14 days in advance, with compensation of $75 per day for late notice, and extra pay for last-minute changes or split shifts.
