2018 Philadelphia Ordinance 180649-A

This ordinance addresses large employers' unpredictable and unfair scheduling practices in retail, hospitality, and service sectors. It creates fair workweek employment standards by requiring covered employers to provide notice of work schedules 14 days in advance, compensating for employees who receive schedule changes, and mandating adequate rest time between shifts. The ordinance also establishes enforcement mechanisms and penalties for non-compliance to ensure that employees receive more stable schedules in order to promote work-life balance and financial stability.
