Arizona's ARS 23-204 prevents cities from enacting predictive scheduling, fair workweek, or shift change pay ordinances on private employers.
ARS 23-204 lists employee scheduling and shift modification rules among the matters reserved to the state. Cities and counties cannot require advance schedule notice, predictability pay, or right-to-rest periods for private-sector workers. Arizona has not adopted a statewide fair workweek law, leaving scheduling primarily to employer-employee agreements and federal Fair Labor Standards Act overtime rules. Cities may still set scheduling standards for their own workforce.
Local scheduling ordinances are void; affected employers can challenge enforcement and recover attorney fees.
