NEW YORK – The Mamdani administration announced on Monday that it secured more than $1.8 million in restitution for over 830 fast food and retail workers following violations of the Fair Workweek Law and the Protected Time Off Law, according to a press release<\/a>.<\/p>\n The announcement, made during a YouTube Live event, also included news of an enforcement petition against QSR Management LLC, a Dunkin\u2019 franchisee operating in Staten Island.<\/p>\n Settlements and new enforcement actions target major employers <\/p>\n By the numbers:<\/p>\n The city filed an enforcement petition against QSR Management LLC and managing officer Ronny Nader, alleging violations affecting about 1,000 workers across 21 Staten Island locations, the release states. The petition claims workers were denied predictable schedules and protected time off, with each violation carrying a penalty of $200 to $500.<\/p>\n “A fair economy is one where working people have the right to a predictable schedule, allowing them to plan and enjoy life outside of work.”\u00a0<\/p>\n \u2014 Deputy Mayor for Economic Justice Julie Su <\/p>\n New York City\u2019s Fair Workweek Law is a set of labor rules<\/a> designed to give hourly workers predictable schedules and more stability\u2014mainly in fast food, retail and some utility safety jobs. The city’s Protected Time Off Law requires employers<\/a> to provide employees with job-protected leave that can be used for health, safety and certain personal or family-related reasons.<\/p>\n According to the city, the Department of Consumer and Worker Protection (DCWP) reached a settlement in 2022 with one of Nader\u2019s locations, awarding $187,000 to 112 employees. Additional complaints prompted the agency to open a broader investigation across the company.\u00a0<\/p>\n (Photo by Michael M.

If DCWP sees you break the law, we will not hesitate to bring you to court \u2013 especially when it comes to repeat scofflaws, like QSR Management and Mr. Nader,” New York City DCWP Commissioner Sam Levine added in a statement of his own.\u202f”Compliance is not optional.”<\/p>\n How to receive payment <\/p>\n Workers do not need to file a complaint to receive these payments, according to the city. Theory workers will begin receiving checks or direct deposits in April, while Salz Management workers will start in August. There is no word yet on the payment schedule for QSR Management LLC workers.\u00a0<\/p>\n Workers and employers can click here<\/a> or call 311 to learn more or file a complaint. Complaints can be filed anonymously, and retaliation is illegal.<\/p>\n The Source: Information from a press release by the City of New York.<\/p>\n Zohran Mamdani<\/a>News<\/a>Economy<\/a>Politics<\/a>New York<\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NEW YORK – The Mamdani administration announced on Monday that it secured more than $1.8 million in restitution…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":173711,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[237,9,12,56,63,65,64,1232,87,618,5023,82],"class_list":["post-173710","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york-city","tag-money","tag-new-york","tag-news","tag-ny","tag-nyc","tag-nyc-headlines","tag-nyc-news","tag-people","tag-politics","tag-us","tag-us-economy","tag-zohran-mamdani"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/173710","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=173710"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/173710\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/173711"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=173710"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=173710"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=173710"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/gettyimages-2268028924.jpg\")
