Seyfarth Synopsis: Oregon's new
employee scheduling law - impacting hourly employees at
large retail, food service, and hospitality employers -
will go into effect on July 1, 2018. Recently, Oregon published the
final administrative rules interpreting this "predictable
scheduling" law.
Last week, Oregon's Bureau of Labor and Industries (BOLI)
published the long-awaited Permanent Administrative Order
interpreting the state's impending predictable scheduling law
("Final Rules"), which will take effect on July 1, 2018.
The Final Rules largely mirror the proposed administrative rules,
issued in April 2018, and do not contain any significant
surprises.
When this scheduling law takes effect on July 1, Oregon will
officially become the first state with a law of this kind -
imposing conditions on employers' ability to alter employee
schedules. The full text of the law is available here. It will join the ranks of San Francisco,
Seattle, New York City, and Emeryville,
