Fair Scheduling Act

The Fair Scheduling Act is a proposed piece of legislation aimed at ensuring fair work hours for employees, particularly in industries like retail and food service. It seeks to address unpredictable scheduling practices, such as last-minute shift changes and irregular hours, which can disrupt workers’ lives. The Act would require employers to provide advance notice of schedules and compensation for sudden changes. Its goal is to promote work-life balance, financial stability, and fair treatment for workers, allowing them to better plan their personal and family commitments while ensuring businesses can maintain their operations effectively.
