New York City Compliance Reminder: NYC Fair Workweek for Fast Food & Retail
Panko Compliance · July 10, 2026
The NYC Fair Workweek Law (effective Nov 2017, expanded in 2021) requires fast food employers to publish work schedules 14 days in advance, pay premiums for any schedule changes after that, and prohibits scheduling employees for back-to-back closing+opening shifts ('clopening') without their written consent and a $100 premium. Penalties: Schedule change without premium: $300 per violation. Full compliance guide: alerts.getpanko.app/compliance/nyc/fair-workweek
