The Texas Regulatory Consistency Act (HB 4, 2023) bars cities from regulating employer scheduling practices. San Antonio has no fair-workweek or predictive-scheduling ordinance, and any future attempt would be preempted under Texas law.
Texas HB 4 (2023) preempts municipal regulation of employer-employee relations, including hours and scheduling. San Antonio has never adopted a predictive-scheduling or fair-workweek ordinance, and the 2023 statute closes the door on any future local rule. No Texas state law requires advance shift notice, predictability pay, or rest between shifts for private employers. Federal Fair Labor Standards Act overtime rules still apply: nonexempt workers earn 1.5 times their regular rate for hours over 40 per week. Workers can negotiate schedule terms individually or through collective bargaining, but San Antonio cannot impose a citywide standard for private employers.
No San Antonio city fine applies because no scheduling ordinance exists. FLSA overtime violations carry back-wage liability plus equal liquidated damages and federal civil penalties up to $1,000 per willful repeat. Texas Workforce Commission accepts wage and hour complaints.
