2A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • TUESDAY, AUGUST 30, 2016 Seattle weighs new rules for businesses with hourly workers Martin Wallace Wangen nesses have criticized the Seattle proposal, saying many employers already provide advance scheduling notice. They say the mea- sure is too restrictive and will create more problems for workers. “It will wipe out the scheduling fl exibility that benefi ts both employees and employers,” said Jan Teague, association president. If store managers can’t add to labor costs to cover the predictabil- ity pay, they’ll operate with fewer employees or fewer hours when someone can’t make it into work, she said. Others say they want to see changes to some pro- visions, such as ensuring employers aren’t penalized for offering shifts directly to workers who want them. Across the country, com- panies have faced increas- ing pressure to make sched- ules more predictable. Last month, Walmart launched a new scheduling system to give thousands of hourly employees more certainty about their hours. The sponsors of Seat- tle’s ordinance say it’s as much about closing the city’s income gap as giving entry-level workers, many of whom are women and minorities, more control over schedules. By PHUONG LE Associated Press SEATTLE — Seattle leaders have proposed new rules for retail and food-ser- vice businesses with hourly employees, including requir- ing them to schedule shifts two weeks in advance and compensate workers for some last-minute changes — the latest push by a city that has led the nation in mandat- ing worker benefi ts. Seattle was among the fi rst to phase in a $15 hourly minimum wage, mandate sick leave for many compa- nies and offer paid parental leave for city workers. Now, the mayor, city offi cials and labor-backed groups are targeting erratic schedules and fl uctuating hours they say make it diffi - cult for people to juggle child care, school or other jobs, to count on stable income or to plan for the future. Seattle’s “secure sched- uling” proposal also would require retail and fast-food companies with 500 employ- ees globally to compensate workers with “predictabil- ity pay” when they’re sched- uled but don’t get called into work or are sent home early; provide a minimum 10 hours rest between open and clos- ing shifts; and offer hours to OBITUARIES AP Photo/Ted S.

In 2014, San Francisco became the fi rst major U.S. city to pass similar legisla- tion. A District of Columbia bill requiring 14-day sched- uling notice advanced out of a council committee in June but has yet to be taken up by the full council. A Novem- ber ballot measure before San Jose, California, vot- ers would require businesses to offer additional hours to existing part-time employees before hiring new staff.
