You cannot be required to work back-to-back closing and opening shifts that are less than 10 hours apart. If an employer directly asks only one person pick up or extend a shift, predictability pay is required. In order to ensure such changes are truly voluntary, offers of additional hours must be made via mass communication or in-person group communication to more than one person. And there is no predictability pay if you voluntarily agree to pick up a shift due to a scheduled employee not being able to work, or if you voluntarily agree to extend your shift due to unanticipated customer needs. In order to maximize your flexibility, predictability pay does not apply if you voluntarily swap shifts with a co-worker, or if you request a change in your own schedule and your employer agrees.

If your employer extends your shift by less than an hour, you get that proportional share of the one-hour of predictability pay. Note: predictability pay does not apply to changes of less than 15 minutes. You get paid for half your lost time if the employer cuts a shift with less than two weeks notice, or sends you home before the scheduled end of your shift. This includes shifts which the employer adds to your schedule with less than two weeks notice, shifts which the employer extends by one hour or more, and shifts where the start and end times are changed without changing the length of the shift. You receive one hour of additional pay when the employer adds or changes a scheduled shift with less than two weeks notice.

Predictability pay if the employer changes your schedule.

Here the the key details: Two weeks’ notice of your schedule.Įmployers are required to post your schedule at least two full weeks in advance so that you know when you’re going to work and how many hours you’re going to get. (If you're a union member, the rules might work a little differently - talk to your union for more details.) If you work for a covered food, coffee, or retail company, Seattle’s secure scheduling law ensures you receive advance notice of your schedule, predictability pay if the employer changers your schedule, a right to rest, access to additional hours if you want them, a good faith estimate of your hours, and input into your schedule.
