Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
(1) The legislature
finds that employee hour and overtime requirements that are uniform throughout the state is a matter of statewide concern and
that the enactment of an ordinance by a city, village, town, or
county regulating employee hours or overtime would be logically
inconsistent with, would defeat the purpose of, and would go
against the spirit of the employee hour and overtime requirements. Therefore, the employee hour and overtime requirements
shall be construed as an enactment of statewide concern for the
purpose of providing employee hour and overtime requirements
that are uniform throughout the state.
(2) In this section, “employee hour and overtime requirements” means the requirements set forth in ss. 103.01 to 103.03,
103.24, 103.38, 103.65 (2) , 103.66 (2) , 103.67 (1) , 103.68,
103.85, 103.915 (4) (b), 103.93 (4), 103.935, and 104.045 (3) and
in the rules promulgated under those sections.
(3) (a) Subject to par. (c), no city, village, town, or county
may enact or enforce an ordinance that regulates employee hours
or overtime, including scheduling employee work hours or shifts.
(b) Subject to par. (c), if a city, village, town, or county has in
effect on April 18, 2018, an ordinance that regulates employee
hours or overtime, including scheduling employee work hours or
shifts, the ordinance does not apply and may not be enforced.
(c) Nothing in this section prohibits a city, village, town, or
county from enacting or enforcing any of the following
ordinances:
1. An ordinance that limits the hours that a business may
operate.
