AN ACT CONCERNING ADVANCED NOTICE OF AN EMPLOYEE'S WORK SCHEDULE BY AN EMPLOYER.

This bill requires employers in retail, food services, hospitality, and long-term health care to provide employees with advance notice of their work schedules. It applies to larger employers, such as those with 500 or more employees globally or food service businesses with 500+ employees and 30+ locations. The law mandates that employers give employees at least 14 days' notice of their scheduled shifts, with exceptions for new hires and last-minute changes that must be communicated as soon as possible. Employers must also obtain written statements from new employees about their availability and desired work hours, and they must pay overtime if schedule changes result in additional hours worked beyond the original estimate.
