Idaho Code 44-1502 preempts local predictive scheduling, fair workweek, and similar employment ordinances, blocking cities from imposing advance-notice or premium-pay scheduling rules on private employers.
Idaho Code 44-1502 broadly preempts political subdivisions from enacting ordinances regulating wages, hours, benefits, or other terms of private employment. This includes predictive scheduling laws (also called fair workweek ordinances) that require advance notice of schedules or premium pay for last-minute changes. No Idaho city may require retail or food service employers to post schedules days in advance, pay predictability premiums, or provide right-to-rest periods between shifts beyond state and federal law. Private employers retain full scheduling flexibility subject only to overtime, child labor, and other Idaho Department of Labor rules. The preemption applies uniformly to all sectors and worker classifications.
Conflicting local scheduling ordinances are void. Employers may challenge enforcement and recover legal costs in successful preemption challenges in court.
