RCNY § 7-621
(a)For purposes of the requirement to provide notice of the work schedule no later than 14 days before the first day of any new schedule in § 20-1221(b) of the Fair Workweek Law, the first day of the work schedule begins at 12:00 a.m. "14 days" means at least 336 hours before the first day on the work schedule. Each shift in each work schedule provided to a fast food employee must include a date, location, and the start time and end time.
(b)For purposes of § 20-1221(b) of the Fair Workweek Law, variation in shifts between the regular schedule and a work schedule refers to changes to the day of the shift, the start or end times of a shift, the removal of a shift, or the addition of any shift not included on the regular schedule. A variation of more than 15% refers to the entire regular schedule and not to changes of more than 15% to individual shifts on the regular schedule.
(c)It shall not be considered a variation from the regular schedule for purposes of § 20-1221(b) when: (1) a fast food employer obtained a fast food employee's written request for or written consent to a change before issuing a work schedule or revised work schedule reflecting the change, or (2) a fast food employer's operations are closed at the location of a shift on the fast food employee's regular schedule due to a scheduled holiday or one of the exigent circumstances set forth in § 20-1222(c) of the Fair Workweek Law. Nothing in this subdivision impacts a fast food employer's obligation to pay premium pay as required under § 20-1222 of the Fair Workweek Law or 6 RCNY § 7-622.
(d)A fast food employer is not required to provide a work schedule to a fast food employee for any workweek that the fast food employee is on leave for the entirety of the period covered by the work schedule. (Added City Record 5/24/2022, eff. 6/23/2022)
