relative to providing employees with advance notice of the work schedule.
HB 487 requires hospitality industry employers (such as hotels, restaurants, bars, and casinos) with 15 or more employees to provide hourly workers with their work schedule at least 7 days in advance. This applies to the starting time of shifts, with notice delivered via posted schedules, email, or app. The law excludes small businesses (fewer than 15 employees), healthcare facilities, and does not apply if collective bargaining agreements waive the requirement. Employers cannot retaliate against workers exercising this right, and exceptions cover unforeseen circumstances like extreme weather.
