Bill > SB1190

This bill addresses mandatory overtime for employees working in specific residential training homes operated by the Department of Human Services. The legislation defines key terms such as "labor organization" (a group representing workers), "letter of agreement" (a binding document modifying collective bargaining terms), and "residential training home" (a 24/7 staffed facility). The bill prevents employers from requiring employees to work more than one mandatory overtime shift in the same month, unless otherwise specified in a written agreement like a collective bargaining contract or letter of agreement. If an employee has already worked one mandatory overtime shift in a month, they can refuse to work an additional mandatory overtime shift without facing disciplinary action, retaliation, or being forced to take unpaid leave or use their accrued paid time off. This provision aims to protect workers from excessive mandatory overtime by giving them the right to decline additional shifts beyond a certain point in a given month.
