Louisiana preempts local predictive or fair workweek scheduling ordinances, leaving private employer scheduling, on-call practices, and shift changes to state and federal law.
La. R.S. 23:642 forbids political subdivisions from setting employment benefits or work conditions exceeding state law, which courts have applied to predictive scheduling, on-call pay, and advance notice ordinances. Louisiana has no statewide fair workweek law. Employers must still comply with FLSA overtime, recordkeeping, and child labor restrictions, and the Louisiana wage payment statute under R.S. 23:631 governs final pay timing.
Local scheduling mandates targeting private employers are unenforceable; municipalities risk litigation and injunctive relief if they attempt enforcement.
