Workplace flexibility has been embraced by HR and many employers as a positive workplace practice. Flexible scheduling’s positive aspects for the workplace include:
- Promoting work-life balance;
- Reducing stress;
- Promoting improved planning; and
- Offering an affordable and reasonable accommodation to ensure compliance under disabilities laws.
While workplace flexibility initiatives continue to be a strategic option for many employers, some jurisdictions have passed laws protecting an employee’s right to request flexible working options without fear of retaliation.
In addition, certain jurisdictions have gone further than right-to-request flexible arrangements laws by introducing more taxing requirements. These scheduling laws, alternately referred to as predictive, secure, fair or predictable, impose an increased number of requirements on employers in addition to extending retaliation protections to employees.
Our 50 state chart summarizes information regarding state and municipal scheduling laws. Where applicable, the chart links to the Employment Law Guide for further details, as well as the Employee Handbooks and Policies and Procedures tools.
