Are Fast Food Wage Increases and Schedule Security Laws Worth the Penalty to Restaurant Owners?
July 19, 2017
New York recently became the third and largest city in the United States to enact legislation that helps ensure schedule security for fast-food workers in the area. One of the key components of the new law is that fast-food restaurants must schedule their workers at least two weeks in advance or pay extra for shift changes. San Francisco and Seattle have already passed similar laws.
The changes these cities have made are well-intended. They are passing laws to give fast-food workers more predictable schedules and paychecks, and I think that’s great. From my perspective as a franchise coach, the challenge we have is not so much the “well-intended” part, but the unintended consequences of these laws.
