As of Dec. 8, 2026, covered employees who report for work at their employer’s request or with its permission must receive at least four hours’ pay, or their regularly scheduled shift if shorter, at their promised hourly wage. Shifts canceled with less than 12 hours’ notice will require two hours’ pay at that rate.
The law will also require at least four hours’ reporting pay on specified prevailing-wage projects at the applicable prevailing wage, including supplements, unless the posted wage schedule provides greater reporting-pay benefits. Shifts canceled with less than 12 hours’ notice will require two hours’ pay at the applicable prevailing wage, including supplements.
Payroll teams should update scheduling and payroll procedures to capture reporting pay and cancellation pay, distinguish the applicable wage requirements and include supplements where required.
