Predictive scheduling

Predictive scheduling or fair workweek laws require certain employers, usually in retail, food service and hospitality, to give hourly workers their schedules in advance and pay a premium for last-minute changes. Oregon has a statewide law, and cities including New York City, Seattle, San Francisco, Chicago, Philadelphia and Los Angeles have their own versions. Coverage, notice periods and penalties differ, and some laws address temp workers specifically. Businesses in these areas should plan staffing orders with the notice rules in mind.
