Executives at Chick-fil-A make around $700K a year, but one location paid its employees in meals [View all]
A Chick-fil-A in North Carolina was busted by the Department of Labor (DOL) this week after a federal investigation uncovered that the franchisee was using underage workers and paying others in food vouchers. The store was fined $6,450, the DOL announced.
According to a statement from the DOL, the store was allowing three workers under 18 to “operate, load or unload a trash compactor,” violations of federal child labor laws that prohibit minors from performing dangerous tasks.
It was also discovered that the company that rakes in around $11.3 billion annually, according to Business Insider, and was asking certain employees to direct traffic and then paying them in meal vouchers rather than wages, a “violation of minimum wage provisions.”
