A bill making its way through the Colorado legislature aims to offer employees in certain industries more predictability with their schedules. via Meghan_Lopez
House Bill 23-1118 requires employers in restaurants, food and beverage manufacturing facilities and retail jobs with 250 employees or more worldwide to provide work schedules to employees with more notice.
Employees would still be able to switch their shifts with coworkers or volunteer to work more shifts, and there would be no penalty to the business. Sirota says that means employees would still have flexibility, but businesses would need to base their practices around predictability. “I've had doctor's appointments that I've had routinely scheduled every week that I've had to consistently reschedule, or I'm rushing to make it there on time,” Vestecka said.
The hour and shift cuts hurt the most, because like a lot of employees, Vestecka lives paycheck to paycheck. They support HB 23-1118, saying it will offer them a chance to do something so many others take for granted: plan ahead. “I fear that if we are forced not to allow flexibility, we're going to lose employees. And we have a hard enough time getting employees right now as it is,” McGinley said.
