Massachusetts has no statewide predictive scheduling law, leaving most scheduling rules to standard wage and hour law under MGL Chapter 151 with limited reporting-pay protections.
Massachusetts has not enacted a comprehensive predictive scheduling or fair workweek law similar to those in Oregon or New York City. Standard wage and hour rules under MGL Chapter 151 apply, including the reporting pay regulation requiring employers to pay at least three hours at minimum wage when employees are scheduled and report for work but are sent home early. Several scheduling bills have been filed in the legislature but not passed. Cities have limited authority to impose private-employer scheduling rules, though municipal contractors may face additional requirements.
Failure to pay required reporting pay subjects employers to wage-act remedies including treble damages, attorney fees, and Attorney General enforcement penalties.
