Labor: hours and wages; scheduling standards for certain employers; provide for. Creates new act.
This Michigan bill, known as the Employee Fair Scheduling Act, establishes new rules for larger employers in retail, hospitality, and food service industries to provide more predictable work schedules. It requires companies with at least 20 employees to give new hires a written estimate of their expected hours and to post detailed work schedules at least 14 days in advance. The legislation also mandates compensation for certain last-minute schedule changes, allows employees to request schedule adjustments, and prohibits retaliation against workers who exercise these rights.
