Sounds like they run an excellent summer jobs program for kids.
“Jacques-Imo Cafe has shelled out over $55,000 in fines for violating multiple child labor laws of the Fair Labor Standards Act.
One of the fines stem from the restaurant employing a 13-year-old to work in the kitchen. That boy sustained third degree burns when he tripped while carrying a vat of hot oil from the deep fryer
The investigation also found that this minor, along with a 15-year-old employee, worked beyond the hours permitted for employees less than 16 years old.
Minors worked past the evening hour limit of 7:00 p.m. during the school year, or 9:00 p.m. from June 1 through Labor Day, when they worked as late as 1:00 a.m.
The minors also worked more than 40 hours per week, more than 8 hours on a non-school day, more than 3 hours on a day when school is in session, all in violation of the law.”

Maybe it’s the sweat from those 13 year old workers that makes the cornbread so good.

The kids should just start selling drugs to avoid child labor laws. Loophole

No shite. I worked 40 hours a week during the summer when I was 15-16 years old.

That's just lazy
A 16 year old can legally work 48 hours a week in the summer. 14 and 15 year old 40 hours a week.

It's New Orleans. Someone didn't get their payoff and so they pulled this shite.
Great restaurant.

What a dumb little shite. That fine is coming out of your paycheck, homey.

How much of this money goes to the child to help him in his struggle? What actually happens to this money? Those issuing fines should not have a financial interest in issuing fines.

Probably agreed to it after the kid begged or lied. Unlikely they intentionally put the kid to work.

It seems like this wouldn't have been a problem had it not happened during the school year. IMO, a 13 year old shouldn't be working 40+ hours during any time of the year. I could see 30 hours at 13 if it's spread out right, but not 40. And definitely not until 1 am. no matter what time of year it is.
