Oregon has become the first state to enact scheduling restriction laws for the service industry, Bob Ortbals of law firm Constangy Brooks Smith & Prophte LLP writes in Lexology. “The law is intended to create work-schedule predictability and ensure a minimum rest period between shifts. Employers will be required to give advance notice of work schedules,” according to the report. “Once set, those schedules cannot be changed except as provided by the law.”
