In the first article in a new series where QSR Magazine asks partners Courtney Leyes and Emily Litzinger to address employment law questions specific to the restaurant industry, they break down how restaurant employers can avoid costly labor mistakes when hiring minors.

Courtney and Emily note that one key step toward ensuring compliance is maintaining a clear policy relating to the employment of minors, including detailed managerial training and regular internal auditing. "There is no easy, one-size-fits-all solution to employing minors in the hospitality industry, especially because most states and many localities provide for more expansive regulation of minors. Catching non-compliance before the Department of Labor knocks at your door may save your business from some unintended attention and unwelcome expense."
