State labor officials have temporarily shut down more than two dozen Boston Market restaurants in New Jersey.

That comes after an investigation into worker complaints found multiple violations of workers rights, including more than $600,000 in back wages owed to 314 workers. The department issued a stop-work order Tuesday, Aug. 15, 2023 against 27 restaurants across New Jersey. The state also imposed nearly $2.6 million in penalties against the firm.

The company has requested a hearing challenging the state's findings, labor officials said, but a hearing date has not yet been scheduled.
