If you work at a large retail chain, restaurant, hotel, or food service company in Oregon, your employer is required to provide  you with your schedule 14 days in advance — and pay you extra when they change it on short notice. You are also entitled to  a 10-hour rest period between shifts, and you cannot legally be punished for declining to work hours added at the last minute. 

These protections arise from the Oregon Fair Work Week Act (“Fair Work Week Act”), the first statewide fair workweek law in the United States. It has been effective since 2018. If you have ever been called in at the last minute, lost hours without warning, been scheduled to close one night and open the next morning, or written up for refusing a shift, the law may offer you some recourse.
