Last week, the New York Industrial Board of Appeals (an arm of the New York Department of Labor) heard oral argument on the National Restaurant Association’s petition to invalidate the Department of Labor’s recent Fast Food Wage Order. If implemented, the Wage Order, which is scheduled to take effect on December 31, 2015, would increase the minimum wage for “fast food employees” in covered “fast food establishments” on a phase-in schedule culminating in a minimum wage rate of $15/hour by December 31, 2018 in New York City and by July 1, 2021 in the balance of the state.
