Summary
Michigan's Local Government Labor Regulatory Limitation Act preempts local predictive scheduling and fair workweek ordinances under MCL 123.1387.
Sec. 9. A local governmental body shall not adopt, enforce, or administer an ordinance, local policy, or local resolution regulating hours and scheduling that an employer is required to provide to employees. This section does not prohibit an ordinance, local policy, or local resolution that limits the hours a business may operate.
Full Breakdown
MCL 123.1387 prohibits Michigan local governments from regulating the information employers must give employees about their employment terms or scheduling. This bars city-level predictive scheduling laws like those adopted in Seattle, San Francisco, and New York. Michigan employers retain flexibility to set schedules without local advance notice rules, premium pay for last-minute changes, or right-to-rest mandates. The state itself has not enacted predictive scheduling rules, leaving the area unregulated beyond federal Fair Labor Standards Act baselines.
Violations & Penalties
Local predictive scheduling ordinances are unenforceable as preempted; no individual penalties apply at state level.
