Abercrombie & Fitch to End On-Call Shifts for Workers

Abercrombie & Fitch said on Friday that it would no longer require workers to be on call for shifts that may be canceled with little notice, after a regulator’s inquiry into the practice.

The office of the New York State attorney general, Eric T. Schneiderman, said in April that it was investigating 13 large retailers over whether the increasingly unpredictable work schedules adopted by some retailers violated state labor laws.

Abercrombie & Fitch said in a statement on Friday that all of its brands would end the practice for workers paid by the hour. As of the end of January, the company ran 799 Abercrombie & Fitch and Hollister stores in the United States.
