FILE - A man reads a stop work order posted on the door of a Boston Market restaurant in Hackensack, N.J., Thursday, Aug. 17, 2023. State labor officials have lifted a stop-work order, Friday, Sept. 15, 2023, that had temporarily shut down more than two dozen Boston Market restaurants in New Jersey. The move came after officials say the owner paid more than $630,000 in back wages to hundreds of workers.
The Associated Press sent an email seeking comment Friday to Boston Market’s corporate office in Golden, Colorado. There are 31 Boston Market restaurants in New Jersey and 310 nationwide, according to its website. State officials have said the investigation began in November, when a worker at a restaurant in Mercer County filed a complaint with the labor department. Subsequently, nearly three dozen additional complaints were received naming several Boston Market locations in New Jersey.
The labor department’s initial findings included citations for unpaid or late payment of wages, hindering the investigation, failure to pay minimum wage, records violations and failure to pay earned sick leave.
