Governor Evers said Wisconsin’s Department of Workforce Development found over 16-thousand Violations of the states child labor and wage payment laws.
The Violations are linked to Cave Enterprise Operations LLC, which operates 105 Burger King franchises in Wisconsin. The violations happened over a two year span ending in January 2025. The Evers administration says this is the largest determination of child labor and wage payment violations in modern Wisconsin history.
The Department of Workforce Development says Cave Enterprises must pay missed wages, including overtime and regular wages, to impacted workers, which includes over 600 kids.
