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.

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

existing employees before
hiring new staff.
“Creating equity in Seat-
tle means providing work-
ers with access to a reliable
schedule that meets their life
and fi nancial needs, while
balancing the daily reali-
ties facing large employers,”
Mayor Ed Murray said ear-
lier this month.
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.

PORTLAND — Dolores
Atiyeh, the wife of former Ore-
gon Gov. Vic Atiyeh, has died
at age 92.
Denny Miles, the gover-
nor’s longtime spokesman,
says Dolores Atiyeh died Mon-
day a care center in the Port-

and was a leading force in
the passage of a mandatory
children’s immunization bill
during the 1981 legislative
session.
She also worked for the
passage of a 1983 bill that
required mandatory seat belt
restraints for children 5 years
old and younger.
Atiyeh is survived by two
children and fi ve grandchildren.
