An auto parts manufacturer in Alabama has been ordered to stop hiring underage workers.
SL Alabama also paid a $30,076 civil money penalty to address the violations.
SL Alabama, which has around 650 workers in the Alexander City area, manufactures headlights, rear combination lights, and side mirrors for automakers including Korean sister companies Hyundai and Kia.
The FLSA also makes it illegal for employers to ship products from worksites where child-labor laws have been violated.
JK USA, Hyundai, and Kia, as well as an attorney for SL Alabama, did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment, made outside of regular working hours.
