The New Jersey Department of Labor has temporarily closed down 27 Boston Market Restaurants in the state due to violations of workers' rights, including over $600,000 in unpaid wages for 314 employees. The state has also imposed penalties of nearly $2.6 million against the company. The investigation began in November after a worker filed a complaint, and since then, several additional complaints have been received. Boston Market has requested a hearing to challenge the state's findings.
