Daniel Schneider and Harknett presented new evidence on the effects of Fair Work Week policies as part of the University of Michigan’s Poverty Solutions Speaker Series. Fair Work Week laws—which require employers to compensate employees when their work schedules are changed on short notice, among other provisions—have been implemented in several U.S. cities and one state. Shift Project research has shown that these laws increase the predictability of workers’ schedules and have positive effects on worker well-being. A recording of the presentation can be found here.
