Bill > HB5046

This bill creates the Fair Scheduling Act, which requires employers to provide work schedules to employees at least 72 hours before the start of the first shift. The bill provides for reporting pay when an employee's work shift is canceled or reduced within 72 hours of the beginning of the shift. It prohibits retaliation by employers when employees seek to enforce their rights under the Act and authorizes private actions for damages. The bill also provides for administration and enforcement by the Department of Labor, including the ability to impose monetary penalties. Additionally, the bill amends the State Finance Act to create the Fair Scheduling Act Enforcement Fund, a special fund in the State treasury, and sets forth the uses of moneys in the Fund.
