MORE INFORMATION

On May 15th, 2018, Councilmember Kate Harrison (District 4) requested Berkeley's Labor Commission to draft a proposed ordinance for Fair Workweek requirements to be based on Emeryville's Fair Workweek Regulations and  to be further strengthened in the following areas:

• Giving employees the right to refuse "clopening" shifts, the right to request a flexible work arrangement, and a prohibition on employers refusing additional hours to prevent the application of benefits
•  ​Giving employees the right to at least two weeks notice of work schedule, to decline additional hours, and to “predictability pay” if changes are made to the schedule after the 2 two week deadline should apply to all businesses of at least 25 employees
  
• The requirement that new shifts first be offered to all qualified existing employees until they have at least 35 hours of work per week on average should apply to all Retail, Hotel, and Restaurant firms with at least 25 employees
