Fair Scheduling enhancements
Fair Scheduling, also known as Schedule Predictability Pay, refers to a collection of wage and hour laws that mandate additional compensation in the event that the employee's schedule is changed by their employer without sufficient notice.
- Several new parameters were added to the Fair Schedule Rule to
accommodate recent legislation in Seattle, New York City, Emeryville, and Oregon. You can
configure the rule to calculate the duration of the award due to the employee for any
eligible events. For example, adding a shift, increasing or decreasing the duration of a
shift, or canceling a shift without sufficient notice.
The rule now supports grace periods (for example, no award for changes 15 minutes or less) and pro-rated awards (for example, changes less than 60 minutes are pro-rated based on duration of change). Full awards can be explicit (for example, 60 minutes) or calculated based on the duration of the change (for example, shift decreases over an hour are paid out at half the duration of the decrease).
The rate of pay associated with the duration of the award can be an explicit rate (for example, $15 for shift increases made within 7 days of the shift) or the employee's base rate.
- New threshold cut-off date options were added in addition to the start of shift. For example, in the Seattle legislation, employees must be given at least 14 days notice before the first day of the published or posted schedule to avoid a potential violation.
- Ability to subscribe to thresholds by team in addition to calculation group. When subscribing by team, either the employee's scheduled team or their home team can be used to determine fair scheduling violations. Subteams of the selected team can also be included in the subscription.
