Connecticut has not enacted predictive scheduling or fair workweek legislation, and Bridgeport has no local rule. Retail and food-service employers may set schedules without advance-notice premiums or right-to-rest minimums.
Unlike Oregon, San Francisco, Seattle, New York City, Los Angeles, and Philadelphia, Connecticut has not passed predictive scheduling or fair workweek legislation. Bills have been introduced in the General Assembly periodically since 2018 but have not become law. Bridgeport, as a municipality, cannot independently create a fair workweek ordinance because employment terms are presumed a matter of statewide concern under Connecticut home-rule doctrine. Hourly retail, hospitality, and fast-food workers in Bridgeport receive only the basic CGS §31-71b semi-monthly wage payment guarantee and the CGS §31-76b overtime rules. Schedule changes, on-call shifts, and clopenings carry no premium pay obligations.
Because no scheduling law exists, last-minute schedule changes are not violations. Failure to pay overtime above 40 weekly hours violates CGS §31-76b and triggers double damages.
