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 FLSA prohibits minor employees from cleaning fryers when the oil temperature exceeds 100 degrees.

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.
