Plain Language Summary

# Schedules That Work Act (HR 6786) - Summary **What the Bill Would Do:** The Schedules That Work Act would require employers to provide workers with more predictable and stable work schedules. The bill aims to give employees advance notice of their work schedules and limit sudden schedule changes. This legislation is intended to help workers—particularly those in retail, food service, and hospitality industries—better plan their personal lives, arrange childcare, and maintain secondary jobs or education. **Who It Affects:** The bill primarily affects hourly and shift workers in service industries, as well as employers in these sectors.

It would apply to most businesses, though the specific size thresholds or exemptions aren't detailed in the available information provided. **Current Status:** As of now, HR 6786 remains in committee and has not advanced to a full House vote. The bill was introduced by Representative Rosa DeLauro (D-CT) in the 119th Congress. No further action has been taken, meaning the proposal is still in the early legislative stage and has not been scheduled for a vote.
