HB 2467 Summary

• Creates Chapter 7 of Arizona Revised Statutes establishing comprehensive employee work scheduling protections for all employers, with enhanced requirements for large retail, hospitality, and food service establishments.

• Requires employers to pay employees a minimum of four hours or their scheduled shift length (whichever is less) when they report to work but the shift is cut short, or when notified less than 24 hours before a scheduled shift is cancelled.

• Mandates that large employers provide written work schedules at least 14 calendar days in advance, pay employees one hour's wages for certain schedule changes, and compensate at half the regular rate for hours lost due to schedule reductions or cancellations.

• Grants employees at all companies the right to request changes to work schedules for career training, caregiving responsibilities, health conditions, or other needs, with large employers required to engage in an interactive process and may only deny requests for bona fide business reasons.

• Requires large employers to offer available additional work hours to existing employees before hiring external workers or subcontractors, and establishes recordkeeping, posting, retaliation protections, and enforcement mechanisms through the Industrial Commission of Arizona.
