The Better Way to Schedule in a Fair Workweek World
Across the U.S., an increasing number of state and local governments have passed (or are in the process of passing) “fair workweek” legislation. These measures, sometimes referred to as “predictive scheduling” requirements, are written to provide shift workers with greater stability, predictability, and flexibility in their work schedules.

They also require employers give part-time staff opportunities to increase their hours before adding new staff.
