The Massachusetts Fast Food and Retail Employee Scheduling Initiative did not make the November 8, 2016, ballot in Massachusetts as an indirect initiated state statute. The measure, upon voter approval, would have required fast-food restaurants and retail stores that make changes to their employees work schedules within 14 days of a scheduled shift to pay such employees at least one additional hour and not more than four additional hours in addition to pay earned for work.[1]

The measure would have also empowered the Executive Office of Labor and Workforce Development to require fast-food restaurants and retail stores to establish notification tables detailing additional hours to be paid for modifying workers' schedules.

Supporters had until December 2, 2015, to submit at least 64,750 valid signatures. If the initiative had the required amount of signatures, the proposal would have been put before the Legislature. The initiative, however, did not meet the signature requirement.[2]
