LA's Fair Workweek Ordinance 187534 (LAMC §185.00) requires retail employers with 300 or more workers to give 14-day advance schedules, predictability pay for changes, and right of refusal for clopening shifts.
Effective April 2023, the Fair Workweek Ordinance applies to retail businesses with at least 300 employees globally. Covered employers must post written schedules 14 days in advance, pay one hour of predictability pay for employer-initiated changes, and offer a minimum 10-hour rest between shifts. Workers may decline clopening shifts (closing then opening within 10 hours) without retaliation. Employers must offer additional hours to current part-time staff before hiring new workers. The Office of Wage Standards enforces under LAAC authority. California has no statewide predictive-scheduling law, so LA's rule operates without preemption conflict.
Predictability-pay restitution to affected workers, plus civil penalties up to $500 per violation. Retaliation against scheduling-complaint workers triggers $1,000 per-incident fines and possible reinstatement orders.
