Four locations of the Utah-based Sodalicious chain — in Midvale, Orem, Provo and South Jordan — were cited for employing teens for more working hours than federal law permits.
This investigation comes as part of a region-wide focus by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division.
“The division determined that Sodalicious allowed 14- and 15-year-old employees to work past 7 p.m. when school was in session, after 9 p.m. during summer months, and more than 3 hours on a school day,” the division said in its release.Under federal labor laws, the department said, children under 14 cannot work in nonagricultural settings. Children 14 and 15 cannot work more than three hours on a school day , or more than 18 hours a week when school is in session.
Sodalicious, founded in 2013 by Annie and Kevine Auering, is known as one of Utah’s custom-mixed soda shops. It has 16 locations in Utah, plus five each in Arizona and Idaho. Specialty Consulting Services is part of the Davis County Co-Operative Society — often referred to as the Kingston group.
