  103.007  Local regulation of hours of labor and overtime; statewide concern; uniformity. 103.007(1)(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. 103.007(2)(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. 103.007(3)(3)  103.007(3)(a)(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. 103.007(3)(b)(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. 103.007(3)(c)(c) Nothing in this section prohibits a city, village, town, or county from enacting or enforcing any of the following ordinances: 103.007(3)(c)1.1. An ordinance that limits the hours that a business may operate. 103.007(3)(c)2.2. An ordinance described in s. 103.34 (14) (b) that regulates hours or overtime of a traveling sales crew worker, as defined in s. 103.34 (1) (f).
