The Los Angeles City Council advanced an ordinance that would require retail employers in LA to provide work schedules to employees at least 14 days in advance.
The ordinance would also require employers to provide employees with a"good faith estimate'' of their work schedule upon hiring. If employees work a shift that begins less than 10 hours from the previous shift, employers would have to provide one-and-a-half times pay.
Rob Nothoff, policy director for the Los Angeles Federation of Labor, called the ordinance"thoroughly analyzed'' and vetted over the past three years. Lack of workplace protections have unnecessarily slowed the region's economic recovery from the pandemic and created barriers to those hoping to enter the workforce, according to Katie Duberg, policy organizing director for the California Work & Family Coalition.
