6. Not from NYC, so I was not familiar with this law

Yesterday

The city’s Fair Workweek Law was approved in 2017 by the City Council. Fast food employers must give workers regular schedules that stay the same week to week, must provide schedules 14 days in advance and cannot reduce hours by more than 15 percent without “just cause or a legitimate business reason.”

Are workers required to give 14 days notice before asking for time off? If people call in sick or don't show up, Starbucks is prohibited from giving people extra hours to fill in? Makes it really hard on those still working if they are short staffed like that.
