How much notice must I give my employees that I’m canceling a shift in order to avoid paying reporting time?
HRCalifornia
An employer doesn’t have a specific number of hours of notice that must give an employee to safely avoid paying reporting time pay. Employers should consult with counsel if they need to cancel shifts on short notice.
However, local ordinances may impose stricter rules related to reporting time pay. Cities such as Berkeley, San Francisco, Emeryville, Los Angeles and Los Angeles County may require advance notice and “predictability pay” for schedule changes. Use HRCalifornia’s Local Ordinances for more information.
