And yet again, basically nothing for violating child labor laws.

    Up to 800 incidents when an employee illegally worked more than the maximum hours.

    So that’s over $300 per incident, which means the extra hours were not worth it.

      Nah, still worth it. Probably cost less than hiring multiple people and training them. Probably even got away with paying less per hour than someone who can work more hours legally too.

        That’s $300+ per illegal shift. Which does not seem worth it to me, regardless of how much the employee was paid.

          It likely costs them a whole lot more to hire multiple people. There are more costs associated with employees than just wage. Thats why turnover costs money. And a few dollars more per hour over three years over how many people in their 20 locations?

          This is likely a wash for them compared to hiring more people or paying more to get older people.

          Let’s bear in mind this is by far the smallest fine they’ve been hit with for child labor and they keep doing it. I can’t imagine their accountants are that bad.

      They are always worth it, unless you get caught. Since getting caught is unlikely, and the fine for getting caught is paltry, it just makes sense in capitalist land to keep doing it.
