Wisconsin preempts local predictive scheduling and fair workweek ordinances under Wis. Stat. 103.007, ensuring statewide uniformity for employer scheduling practices and forbidding municipal advance-notice mandates.
Wisconsin's 2017 Act 327 added Wis. Stat. 103.007, which preempts any local ordinance requiring an employer to provide a specific work schedule, advance notice of schedules, or premium pay for schedule changes. Combined with the wage preemption in 104.001, this prevents Wisconsin cities such as Madison from adopting fair workweek measures similar to those in Seattle, San Francisco, or New York City. State law instead governs general scheduling subject to federal FLSA overtime rules and Wisconsin chapter 103 hours-of-labor protections. Employers retain flexibility to set and modify schedules without local advance-notice or predictability pay requirements.
Local ordinances regulating employer scheduling are void. Employers must still comply with state hour-of-labor rules in chapter 103 and federal overtime law; violations can result in back pay, liquidated damages, and DWD penalties.
