LA County has no general predictive-scheduling ordinance for unincorporated areas. California AB-1228 governs fast-food workers via the statewide Fast Food Council, and statewide retail rules apply uniformly without local mandates.
Unlike LA City's Fair Workweek Ordinance, LA County has not enacted a predictive-scheduling rule for unincorporated areas. California AB-1228 (2023) created the Fast Food Council with statewide authority over wages and conditions in covered fast-food chains, preempting local fast-food scheduling rules. Outside fast food, California has no statewide predictive-scheduling statute, so unincorporated retail, hospitality, and other sectors operate under default Labor Code rules: reporting-time pay under IWC Wage Order 7, split-shift premiums, and meal-period rules. Workers in incorporated cities like LA City or Berkeley fall under those cities' separate ordinances.
No county scheduling penalties exist. Fast-food workers may file Fast Food Council complaints. Retail workers may pursue Labor Commissioner claims for reporting-time-pay violations under Wage Order 7, with statutory penalties up to $100 per first violation.
