Q: I get paid biweekly and the schedule is shared weekly. Lately they have been making schedule changes without 24 hours.
Is it legal for them to do this? Or do they need to give 96 hours advance for schedule changes. They also don’t pay one and one half for when the schedule does change without more notice.
A:
I am unaware of any law that dictates what is proper notice. I am also unaware of any law that demands an employer pay time and a half for schedule changes, so long as it doesn't result in overtime.
Your best bet would be to seek answers in your company's policies, then inquire of your supervision why policy is not being followed. Big caveat, of course, is that employment in Michigan is generally "at will", and so if you don't like what the company is doing, you might want to start looking to other companies.
