Starbucks is set to pay approximately $35 million to more than 15,000 New York City employees following claims the coffee giant denied them stable schedules and arbitrarily reduced their working hours, city officials announced Monday.
Under the agreement with the city's Department of Consumer and Worker Protection, Starbucks will also incur $3.4 million in civil penalties. The company has further committed to adhering to the city's Fair Workweek law moving forward.
