Determinants of Irregular Worker Schedules

Grant description:

This project will utilize third-party scheduling data that is well-suited to investigate schedule volatility. Research in this area has been limited to surveys of workers, but with detailed time and attendance data from a payroll provider, this project seeks to document novel facts about worker schedules, evaluate the effect of predictive scheduling and minimum wage laws on schedule-related outcomes for firms and workers, and understand the welfare effects of schedule regulation on workers.
