The New York Wage Board moved Wednesday to raise the hour wage for fast food workers from $8.75 an hour to $15, which would take effect in New York City on Dec. 31, 2018, and for the rest of the state by mid-2021.
The board’s move does not require legislative approval, but will need a sign-off by the state labor commissioner, which is expected shortly.
