Explanation
The bill, which establishes requirements regarding employee
scheduling for certain employers, results in a potential minimal
revenue gain to the extent there are violations and therefore civil
penalties paid.
The bill allows aggrieved parties to bring an action before Superior
Court over alleged violations, which does not result in any cost impact.
The court system disposes of over 400,000 cases annually and the
number of cases is not anticipated to be great enough to require
additional resources.
The bill has no cost impact on the state or municipalities as
employers because it is not anticipated that any state or municipal
employees would be covered under the bill’s requirements.
Senate "A" changes the definition of employer and the time frame
when an employer can change an employee’s schedule without
penalty, which does not result in any fiscal impact. 2021SB-00668-R01-FN.DOCX Page 2 of 2
The Out Years
The annualized ongoing fiscal impact identified above would
continue into the future subject to the number and nature of violations.
