27 Fast Food Chain Restaurants Can Reopen After Paying More Than $600K In Back Wages

After 27 Boston Market restaurants in New Jersey were temporarily shut down in August over alleged wage violations, the owner has paid more than $630,000 in back wages to 314 workers, the state Labor Department said Thursday.
The stores were temporarily closed after the state said the owner would have to pay $2.5 million, which included the back wages, plus fines and other penalties for violating laws that protect workers’ rights.
The back wages were paid on Friday. Sept. 8 and the stop-work orders were lifted immediately so the stores could reopen, the state said.
