Kansas prohibits cities and counties from imposing predictive scheduling, fair workweek, or shift posting requirements on private employers.
K.S.A. 12-16,130 broadly preempts local employment regulation, including predictive scheduling and fair workweek ordinances that would require advance notice of shifts, premium pay for schedule changes, or rest periods between shifts. Kansas private employers follow federal Fair Labor Standards Act rules and any voluntary internal scheduling policies they choose to adopt. Local Kansas governments cannot enact ordinances that impose scheduling mandates, predictability pay, or right-to-rest requirements on private businesses.
Local scheduling ordinances conflicting with K.S.A. 12-16,130 are void and unenforceable against private employers.
