The owner is expected to appear in court Wednesday in Swift Current.
Last week, an eatery in Moose Jaw, Sask., pleaded guilty to similar charges and was ordered to pay fines and reimburse the worker.
Some of the charges laid against the Swift Current business are under new provincial legislation that can impose heftier penalties compared with previous laws.
