Seems like this was a scheduling error. The kids were legal to work, but with restricted hours. Somebody messed up and had them working excessive hours. I think the fine is commiserate with the act.

The person doing the scheduling should be accountable personally for either being ignorant of or just straight up ignoring the law. This isn’t just a “whoopsie”. There should be criminal charges.

Absolutely not a scheduling problem. This is common practice in all fast food. When I was 14 and working at a Hardee’s, my manager would regularly have me clock out at 7, work till 11, and he’d log my extra 4 during the day while I was at school.

Yeah its just a simple mistake by the richest and most profitable restaurant chain in the entire world. I'm sure they overlook things all the time with their 40 billion dollars in revenue. Woopsie

It’s a franchisee that screwed up

It’s common in the restaurant industry. When I was 14 working as a bus boy I was doing 9-10 hour shifts without a break. I didn’t know better but my dad sure did and he scared the shit out of the GM (who was a piece of shit and went to jail for stealing customers credit cards).
