Bill > HB24

This bill requires employers to provide employees with a written estimate of their work schedule at the time of hire, including the average expected hours and details about a voluntary standby list for those willing to work extra hours. Employers must also post weekly work schedules at least seven days in advance and provide notice of any changes, with compensation required for certain employer-initiated schedule alterations. The bill establishes rest periods for employees, mandating time off between shifts and requiring premium pay for work during these rest periods, with exceptions for roadside assistance. Employees can identify their own scheduling limitations, and employers are prohibited from retaliating against employees for exercising their rights under this act. Finally, the bill amends existing law to establish civil penalties for violations, with a new penalty of $500 to $2,000 for violations of these new scheduling provisions.
