An Act providing for fair workweek employment standards and for powers and duties of the Department of Labor and Industry; and imposing penalties.

SB 548, the Fair Workweek Employment Standards Act, requires large retail, hospitality, and food services employers (those with 250+ employees across 20+ locations) to provide written advance notice of work schedules to employees. It mandates that employers give a good-faith estimate of weekly hours at hire, revise estimates for significant schedule changes, and notify employees of schedule changes at least seven days in advance. Employees gain the right to request schedule adjustments, though employers may deny requests for lawful reasons. The bill also authorizes the Department of Labor and Industry to enforce these standards and impose penalties for violations.
