US fair-workweek / predictive-scheduling law intelligence (annual)
Annual agent-curated panel of US fair-workweek (predictive-scheduling) laws: the single statewide law (Oregon) plus every municipal ordinance in effect, encoded as comparable provision rows. Each law-bearing row was transcribed by a curated research pass from the jurisdiction's official government page on 2026-10-02; provision summaries are original text, never verbatim statute reproductions. A documented 0-100 restrictiveness index combines advance-notice days, predictability-pay severity, right-to-rest, hours-access, good-faith estimates, and recordkeeping. 62 rows: 51 state rows (only Oregon has a statewide law; 11 states flagged for local-law preemption) plus 11 municipal rows. Join by state_code / jurisdiction to store footprints or customer geography; caveat: effective dates and provision detail should be re-verified against the cited official page before compliance use.
