Pennsylvania has no statewide predictive scheduling law and has not preempted municipal action, allowing Philadelphia's Fair Workweek Ordinance to require advance schedules and predictability pay for certain employers.
Pennsylvania has not enacted a statewide fair workweek or predictive scheduling statute, and the General Assembly has not preempted local action on employee scheduling. Philadelphia adopted the Fair Workweek Employment Standards in 2018, requiring large retail, hospitality, and food service employers (generally with 250 or more employees and 30 or more locations worldwide) to provide good-faith schedule estimates, advance notice of schedules, predictability pay for late changes, and rest between shifts. The ordinance is enforced by the Philadelphia Department of Labor. No other Pennsylvania municipality has currently adopted comparable scheduling rules, and statewide employers must still comply with the Pennsylvania Wage Payment and Collection Law.
Philadelphia Fair Workweek violations may result in back pay, civil penalties, and city enforcement actions.
