Child Labor Laws

John AndersonOctober 5, 2022

A Sonic franchise operator with locations in Newton, McPherson, and Hutchinson has been fined nearly $42,000 for violating child labor laws. The U.S. Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division found that BBR Investments LLC, based in Newton, and owner of 17 Sonic drive-in locations in Kansas, violated child labor provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act. The investigation found that 50 teens, ages 14 to 15 years old, were employed working more hours than allowed by child labor laws.
