Ohio law preempts local predictive scheduling, fair workweek, and similar shift-notice ordinances, leaving employer scheduling unregulated by state mandate.
ORC 4113.85, enacted by Senate Bill 331, prohibits any political subdivision from requiring an employer to alter the work hours, location, or scheduling of an employee beyond what is required by state or federal law. The provision blocks fair workweek and predictive scheduling ordinances similar to those adopted in cities like Seattle and New York. Ohio also preempts local on-call and reporting pay requirements, leaving these terms to employer discretion or collective bargaining agreements.
Local scheduling ordinances exceeding state law are preempted; no state penalty exists for employer scheduling practices.
