Tennessee preempts local predictive scheduling and fair workweek ordinances under T.C.A. 50-2-112, preventing cities from regulating private employer scheduling practices.
T.C.A. 50-2-112 bars local governments from imposing employer mandates that exceed state or federal labor law, including scheduling rules, advance-notice requirements, and predictability pay. Tennessee follows federal labor standards under the Fair Labor Standards Act, leaving employers free to design schedules without mandatory advance-notice penalties. Cities such as Memphis and Nashville cannot copy fair workweek ordinances enacted in cities like Seattle or Philadelphia. Public-sector scheduling for municipal employees remains within local government authority subject to collective bargaining where applicable.
Predictive scheduling ordinances are void, and businesses can sue to block enforcement and recover legal costs from offending municipalities.
