S 2664 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

"New Jersey Fair Workweek Act."

This bill requires large employers (250+ global employees) in covered sectors like restaurants, hotels, and retail chains to provide employees with advance notice of work schedules. It mandates 14 days' notice for schedule changes and prohibits last-minute shifts without a valid business reason (such as staffing shortages or legal requirements). Employees can request schedule adjustments through a good-faith discussion with their employer, and employers must provide written notice of schedule changes. The law applies to establishments including chains with 30+ restaurants worldwide or 250+ total employees.
