San Diego has not adopted a Fair Workweek predictive-scheduling ordinance. California AB-1228 created a statewide Fast Food Council setting wages and standards for fast-food chains, but no general predictive-scheduling mandate applies to other industries.
Unlike Los Angeles, Berkeley, or Emeryville, San Diego has not enacted a Fair Workweek ordinance requiring advance schedules, predictability pay, or rest between shifts for retail or hospitality workers. California AB-1228 (2023) instead created the Fast Food Council under Labor Code §1474 to set wages and working conditions specifically for fast-food chains with 60+ locations nationally. The Council set a $20 minimum wage in April 2024 and may issue future scheduling rules. Other industries in San Diego follow only general California Labor Code reporting-time pay (Wage Order 7) and Industrial Welfare Commission rules. The city Office of Labor Standards has no scheduling authority absent local legislation.
Reporting-time-pay violations under Wage Order 7 entitle workers to two to four hours of pay when scheduled and sent home. Fast-Food Council rule violations under AB-1228 are enforced by the state Labor Commissioner.
