Three rinks in New Hampshire fined heavily over child labor violations
The U.S. Department of Labor recovered $13,125 in back wages for four employees at a rink in New Hampshire, while a total of three employers paid $42,921 in civil money penalties after numerous investigations found they had violated federal child labor and overtime requirements of the Fair Labor Standards Act.
Investigators were able to find out that the accused employers allowed 14- and 15-year olds to work in excess of the FLSA's hours restrictions. The rinks involved in the investigation were The Rinks at Exeter, Tri-Town Ice Arena in Hooksett and The Salem ICenter.
The Rinks at Exeter owed four employees $13,125 in unpaid overtime, and misclassified minors as independent contracts. Tri-Town Ice Arena employed three minors under the age of 14, which is the federal minimum age for most employment in non-agricultural occupations, with the youngest being just 11 years old. Two of the three underage minors also worked in excess of the FLSA's hours restrictions, and once again the employer misclassified minors as independent contractors. The Salem ICenter employed one minor under the age of 14 who also worked in excess of the FLSA's hours restrictions while underage.
