- Minimum amount of rest time between the end of one shift and the start of the next (let's say, 12 hours?)
- If you work more than a certain number of days in a row (let's say 3), every day after the 3rd is on overtime pay
- Your social media posts cannot be used in decisions about hiring or firing you. Doing so is considered retaliation, especially if the posts are derisive of the employer
- When you clock out for the day, the time clock MUST show you the exact number of hours you worked that day, as well as the amount of money you made while clocked in (both before taxes are removed and after)
- Your employers MUST give you at least three weeks of advance notice before all hours they expect you to work. Any hours that are worked outside of such a notice are considered overtime.
- If your employer does not fire you within one week of any fireable offenses committed by you, they lose the opportunity to do so. Additionally, they must provide in writing an honest and detailed explanation of why, under penalty of perjury.
- If a prospective employer rejects your application, they must provide in writing an honest (i.e. "the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth") and detailed explanation as to why, under penalty of perjury
- PTO must be accepted, no questions asked, no ifs, ands or buts, no saving throw, do not pass Go, do not collect $200
- Full-time is now 24 hours a week: Four days, six hours per day
- To compensate, minimum wage is now $21.75 an hour, and a committee will be put in place to gauge the cost of a modest and dignified living across the country. If the minimum wage at 24 hours a week is less than the cost of living in that area, it will be increased to match, but it will not decrease once it increases unless a supermajority of the population of that area votes in favor of lowering it.
- Overtime is now calculated by the day, rather than by the week
- Breaks are mandatory. If you're working so much that you can't complete it all WITH BREAKS, you're working too hard.
- Exponential overtime: Hour 25 of the week is 1.25 times your base pay, and Hour 26 and beyond are each 1.25 times the pay of the hour before them
- cops do not count as labor and so are not affected by these changes
the thing about these sorts of posts is they make me question how bad labour laws are in other places.... like, a third of these are laws on the books in my province (well, with slightly different numbers but the concepts are there)
Trust me when I say that NC's labor laws would benefit from every single one of these. Shit's borderline dystopian
