Summary:
An investigation by the U.S. Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division found that a Troy-based Popeyes franchise violated child labor laws by forcing 63 teens aged 14 and 15 to work more than 18 hours per week and past 7 p.m. (respectively) while school was in session. The franchise was fined $48,251 in civil penalties. The FLSA prohibits minors from working excessive hours, operating heavy machinery, and more.
