Arlington cannot mandate predictive scheduling, advance shift notice, or predictability pay. Texas HB 2127 preempts local labor regulation, leaving scheduling rules entirely to private employers and federal law.
Predictive scheduling laws, common in cities like Seattle and New York, require advance notice of shifts and predictability pay when schedules change. Texas HB 2127 (2023) preempts these local employment mandates by occupying the field of labor regulation under the Texas Labor Code. Arlington has not attempted to enact such rules, and any ordinance requiring shift notice, on-call pay, or right-to-rest between shifts would be void. Hourly retail, restaurant, and stadium concession workers near AT&T Stadium and Globe Life Field rely solely on private employer policies and federal FLSA overtime rules.
No city scheduling ordinance exists. Federal FLSA still requires overtime at 1.5x the regular rate for hours over 40 per week for non-exempt workers; complaints go to the U.S. Department of Labor Wage and Hour Division.
