A Chick-fil-A franchise in North Carolina was fined thousands of dollars for multiple child labor violations.
A Chick-fil-A franchise in North Carolina has been fined more than $6,000, after investigators from the Department of Labor concluded it broke federal child labor laws by allowing three under-18 employees to"operate, load or unload a trash compactor."
The judgment was delivered against Good Name 22:1 LLC of Hendersonville, North Carolina, which was operating as a Chick-fil-A.Investigators also concluded the franchise paid some employees, who were directing traffic, in meal vouchers rather than wages, a violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act. This inquiry by the Department's wage and hour division led to $235 in back wages being paid to seven employees.
The sign for a Chick-fil-A restaurant is seen outside of a Houston, Texas location on July 05, 2022. A Chick-fil-A franchise in North Carolina has been fined for breaking child labor laws.Commenting on the ruling, Labor Department Wage and Hour Division District Director Richard Blaylock said:"Child labor laws ensure that when young people work, the work does not jeopardize their health, well-being or educational opportunities.
"In addition, employers are responsible to pay workers for all of the hours worked and the payment must be made in cash or legal tender."Brito Enterprises of Tampa, which was"operating as Chick-Fil-A Tampa Stadium," allowed 17 workers, aged either 14 or 15, to"work past 7 p.m. or more than 3 hours during a school day between Labor Day and June 1.
"We encourage employers to access our Youthrules.gov website or contact the Wage and Hour Division to learn how to keep these young workers safe on the job."
