1. Short title; findings (a) Short title This Act may be cited as the Schedules That Work Act . (b) Findings Congress finds the following: (1) The vast majority of the United States workforce today is juggling responsibilities at home and at work. Sixty-four percent of mothers are the primary breadwinners or co-breadwinners in their families. (2) Despite the dual responsibilities of today’s workforce, both hourly and salaried workers often have little ability to make changes to their work schedules when those changes are needed to accommodate family responsibilities. (3) (A) Low-wage working mothers are more likely to be raising children on their own than higher-wage working mothers. For example, more than half of mothers in low-wage jobs who have very young children are single parents, compared to around one-third of all working mothers who have very young children. (B) At the same time, low-wage workers have the least control over their work schedules and the most unpredictable schedules. For example— (i) roughly half of low-wage workers reported very little or no control over the timing of the hours they were scheduled to work; (ii) (I) many workers in low-wage jobs receive their work schedules with very little advance notice; and (II) 41 percent of workers who are ages 26 through 32 (referred to in this section as early-career workers ) in hourly jobs report getting their work schedules a week or less in advance; (iii) some workers in low-wage jobs are sent home from work when work is slow without being paid for their scheduled shift; (iv) (I) many employers have adopted just-in-time scheduling, which bases workers’ schedules on perceived consumer demand and often results in workers being given very little advance notice of their work schedules; and (II) in some industries, the use of call-in shift requirements—requirements that workers call in to work to find out whether they will be scheduled to work later that day—have become common practice
