Labor Laws and the Employer
As secure scheduling laws pass in cities such as San Francisco and Seattle, it’s creating tougher labor laws and greater complexity in scheduling practices for large retailers and food service establishments with 500 or more employees. Changes to the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), originally scheduled to go into effect December 1st but now postposed to June 1, 2017, add to employer liabilities and the need to increase controls on how workers are classified and paid.
