KFC settlement over consumer protection law
In addition to requiring employees to waive their right to premium pay and changing workers’ schedules without providing premium pay, DCA found KFC also violated the Fair Workweek Law by failing to provide the required Predictable Schedule: Fast Food Notice, which must be posted in any language that is the primary language of at least five percent of the workers at the workplace if available on DCA’s website, and for failing to maintain records of the distribution of good faith estimates of schedules and employee consent forms for schedule changes.

The settlement, which is the result of an investigation by DCA’s Office of Labor & Policy Standards (OLPS), requires the KFC operator to repeal an illegal waiver that employees were required to sign, pay $80,000 in restitution to more than 600 employees, and submit to intensive and comprehensive auditing by an independent monitor for 18-months to ensure compliance with the City’s workplace laws. This settlement is one of more than 40 investigations that have been closed in the first year of the Law. By settling the violations it found, DCA has been able to secure a total of more than $217,000 in restitution and civil penalties for almost 1,200 workers and ensure that their employers comply with the law.
