The Schedules That Work Act aims to empower employees by allowing them to request changes to their work schedules without fear of retaliation from their employers. This legislation seeks to create more predictable and stable work hours, particularly for those in industries where erratic scheduling is common, such as retail, food service, hospitality, cleaning, and warehousing. By addressing the challenges workers face in balancing job responsibilities with personal commitments, the Act aims to enhance overall well-being and job satisfaction.
