Requiring a workers’ rights training for certain fast food employees
Status: Committee Committee on Consumer and Worker Protection
Sponsored by Carmen N. De La Rosa
Introduced: March 19, 2024

This bill would require the Department of Consumer and Worker Protection (DCWP) to provide workers protected by the Fair Work Week Law with a training on city employment laws, including protections under the Fair Work Week Law. Upon 45 days’ notice, DCWP would be empowered to direct an employer covered by the Fair Work Week Law to make their employees available for the training, and could do so by considering the number and severity of violations of the Fair Work Week Law and any other factors DCWP deems relevant to that decision. Employers that make their employees available for the training would be required to compensate such employees for their travel time, if not at the employees’ typical work location, and training time.
