 5 (a) For at least four hours at the basic minimum hourly wage for each
 6 day on which the employee reports for work under specific instructions
 7 but is given less than four hours of work, except that if the employee's
 8 regularly scheduled shift is less than four hours, such employee shall
 9 be paid for the employee's regularly scheduled hours for that day if
 10 given less than the regularly scheduled hours of work; and
 11 (b) For at least four hours at the basic minimum hourly wage for each
 12 day the employee is given specific instructions to contact the employ-
 13 ee's employer, or wait to be contacted by the employer, less than twen-
 14 ty-four hours in advance of the start of the potential work shift to
 15 determine whether the employee must report to work for such shift.
 16 (c) Nothing in this subdivision shall apply to any employer who is
 17 subject to a Hospitality Industry Wage Order promulgated by the depart-
 18 ment, unless the employer is also subject to a Fast Food Wage Order
 19 promulgated by the department, as such terms are defined by 18 NYCRR

 22 modification of part 142-2.3 of title 12 of the New York state codes,

 25 public hearing, and without reference to a wage board, and shall become
 26 effective sixty days after the effective date of such subdivision.
