Employer scheduling practices that introduce instability and unpredictability into workers’ lives are widespread and largely harmful. Recently, San Francisco, Seattle, New York City, Emeryville (CA), and Oregon and New York have passed new work hour standards, and at least 13 other municipalities are considering similar scheduling legislation. The new laws establish standards for scheduling hourly employees in targeted industries, primarily in the retail and food service sectors and in large corporations.
