Georgia preempts local predictable scheduling and fair workweek ordinances, preventing cities and counties from regulating employer shift practices for private workers.
Under O.C.G.A. 34-4-3.1, Georgia broadly preempts local employment regulation, including any ordinance requiring private employers to follow particular scheduling, advance notice, or rest period rules. Cities and counties cannot impose predictable scheduling, fair workweek, or right-to-rest mandates on private employers. State and federal scheduling protections, such as those tied to overtime under the FLSA, remain in force. Public employers may set their own internal scheduling policies, but local mandates on private businesses are unenforceable.
Local scheduling ordinances applied to private employers are void and create no enforceable rights.
