Hundreds of minors were found to be working out of normal business hours in restaurants owned by Louisville-based Manna Inc., the U.S. Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division (WHD) said.
A Kentucky-based franchise company that operates a slate of popular fast food restaurants has been hit with a six-figure fine for allegedly violating child labor laws.
The agency alleged the law had been broken after the company allowed teenage employees, aged 14 and 15, to work"outside of legally approved hours and for more hours than allowed by law.", the WHD said 15 restaurants were located in Louisville. "Child labor laws exist to ensure that when young people work, the work does not jeopardize their health and well-being or educational opportunities," said Louisville-based WHD division district director Karen Garnett-Civils, adding:"We encourage all employers to review their employment obligations and to contact the Wage and Hour Division for compliance assistance."
Manna Inc. was founded by former NBA basketball player Ulysses"Junior" Bridgeman but is now under control of his son Ryan Bridgeman, local media outlet WDRB reported.
