Case Study: Orem, Utah avoids child labor compliance violations with WorkforceHub

Orem, Utah avoids a $16,000 child labor fine with WorkforceHub

The city of Orem, Utah, faced a Department of Labor audit and was fined $16,000 for violating federal child labor laws at its public waterpark. The city had been following more lenient state scheduling laws for its teenage employees, which resulted in 15-year-olds working past the federal deadline and exceeding allowed shift lengths. To address this compliance challenge, Orem turned to the vendor WorkforceHub for its time and attendance software.

WorkforceHub provided a solution with automated time tracking, scheduling, and reporting features. The software's configurable rules and threshold warnings helped ensure shifts complied with the stricter federal laws, preventing out-of-schedule punches and providing audit-ready records. As a result, the city gained a powerful tool to prevent future costly violations and protect itself from Department of Labor investigations.
