After establishing an alternative workweek schedule, making changes in staff, such as transferring employees or hiring new employees into the affected work unit does not invalidate the alternative workweek schedule.
If the employees want to go back to a traditional schedule, they may petition to repeal it — if one-third of affected employees petition, a new election must be held within 30 days, and a two-thirds vote is required to reverse the schedule.
Employers may terminate the schedule at any time without holding a repeal election but only have providing reasonable advance notice to employees. The Labor Commissioner recommends giving at least one payroll period of notice.
When hiring or transferring employees into a unit with an alternative workweek, employers may accommodate those who cannot work the schedule, though they are not required to. Employers must, however, explore any available alternative means to accommodate employees’ religious beliefs.
