Texas HB 4 of 2023 preempts local fair workweek and predictive scheduling ordinances. Bexar County cannot require employers to post advance schedules, pay predictability premiums, or grant offered shifts to existing workers.
Predictive scheduling laws, common in California and New York, require employers to post schedules days in advance and pay penalties for last-minute changes. Texas Local Government Code Chapter 229, as amended by HB 4 in 2023, preempts local regulation of employer scheduling, hours, and shift assignment. Bexar County has no authority to impose fair workweek rules on private employers. Standard federal rules under the Fair Labor Standards Act, including overtime after 40 hours and recordkeeping, continue to apply. Employees may negotiate scheduling individually or through a collective bargaining agreement, but no county-level mandate exists.
Because Bexar County cannot enforce predictive scheduling, no related violations or penalties apply. Wage-and-hour disputes are channeled through the Texas Workforce Commission or federal Department of Labor.
