Bill > S1110

This bill proposes the Fair Workweek Act, which would establish new requirements for certain large employers (with 50 or more employees) in the retail, hospitality, and food service industries. The key provisions include: - Requiring employers to provide good-faith estimates of employee work schedules at the time of hire and during employment, and to provide written work schedules at least 14 days in advance. - Requiring employers to pay "predictability pay" to employees when the employer makes certain changes to the posted work schedule after the 14-day advance notice period. - Providing employees the right to request schedule changes and the right to decline work shifts scheduled less than 11 hours apart. - Requiring employers to offer available work hours to existing employees before hiring new workers. - Prohibiting retaliation against employees for exercising their rights under the Act. - Authorizing the Attorney General to enforce the Act and promulgate necessary regulations. The bill aims to provide more predictable and stable work schedules for employees in these industries.
