Senior executives often express concerns about workforce shortages and the challenges of low-wage job recruitment, yet they may be contributing to these issues themselves. Cities like Los Angeles, Seattle, New York, and Chicago have introduced labor scheduling laws that require companies to give employees advance notice of their schedules, with penalties for non-compliance. For instance, in Los Angeles, retailers must provide two weeks’ notice and offer “predictability pay” for last-minute changes. These regulations help stabilize low-wage workers’ schedules, reduce turnover, and improve employee focus, ultimately benefiting the business’s overall productivity and customer service.
