Michigan's Local Government Labor Regulatory Limitation Act, MCL 123.1381 et seq., prohibits Detroit from enacting predictive scheduling ordinances or fair workweek requirements on private employers.
Unlike Seattle, New York, and Los Angeles, Detroit cannot pass a fair workweek or predictive scheduling ordinance. Michigan's Local Government Labor Regulatory Limitation Act, codified at MCL 123.1381 et seq., expressly preempts local rules governing employee work hours, scheduling, advance notice, predictability pay, or right-to-rest provisions for private-sector employees. Detroit retains authority over its own municipal workforce schedules but cannot regulate retail, fast food, or hospitality employer scheduling practices. Workers seeking schedule predictability must rely on collective bargaining or federal Fair Labor Standards Act overtime rules, not local ordinance.
Any Detroit ordinance attempting to mandate predictive scheduling on private employers would be void on its face under the preemption statute and subject to immediate injunction by Wayne County Circuit Court.
