Alabama Code Section 11-43-26 prevents local governments from imposing predictive scheduling, fair workweek, or shift notification mandates on private employers.
Code of Alabama Section 11-43-26 preempts municipalities and counties from regulating private employer scheduling practices. This blocks predictive scheduling laws that would require advance notice of shifts, premium pay for schedule changes, or rest periods between shifts. Alabama leaves scheduling almost entirely to private agreement, subject to federal Fair Labor Standards Act overtime rules. Employers can voluntarily adopt predictable scheduling practices. The preemption supports uniform statewide labor policy and prevents a patchwork of local rules.
Local predictive scheduling ordinances are preempted and void under state law.
