Employees may submit written requests for flexible work schedules, defined as working remotely or working hours different from regular position hours

Employers (both private and public) must consider requests and provide written decisions, including specific reasons if denying the request

Employers may deny requests for operational reasons including additional costs, impact on employee morale, inability to meet consumer demand, or determination that the position cannot be performed remotely

Employers may rescind approved flexible work arrangements at any time with reasonable notice if deemed necessary

Retaliation against employees for requesting flexible schedules is prohibited, with civil penalties of $100-$500 payable to the Department of Labor
