Missouri RSMo 71.010 preempts local predictive scheduling ordinances, preventing cities and counties from imposing fair workweek or advance-notice rules on private employers.
RSMo 71.010 prohibits political subdivisions from regulating the terms and conditions of private employment beyond state law, including scheduling practices. Cities and counties cannot adopt fair workweek ordinances, predictive scheduling laws, advance-notice mandates, or premium-pay requirements for last-minute schedule changes. The preemption ensures that Missouri retailers, restaurants, and service businesses operate under a single statewide rulebook. Federal Fair Labor Standards Act overtime rules continue to apply, and any expansion of scheduling protections must come from the General Assembly. Public employers continue to set internal scheduling rules for their own workforces.
Local fair workweek or predictive scheduling rules are unenforceable. Employers complying with state and federal law are immune from local scheduling-related fines or licensing actions.
