New York City sued Chipotle Mexican Grill chains for violating labor, scheduling and sick leave laws, which have affected all of Chipotle’s New York City employees.
The Department of Consumer and Worker Protection sued Chipotle for several violations of the Fair Workweek Law, which mandates that workers be given 14 day advance notice of schedules or else they must receive extra pay. Additionally, workers have to have certain time allotted for breaks during shifts.
“Since we first filed our case against Chipotle we have unfortunately learned that those initial charges were just the tip of the iceberg,” Department Commissioner Lorelei Salas said, according to Business Insider.
