Check the labor laws for your state online.
16. Behold the power of Google.
Persons 14 and 15 years old have restricted hours of work under the child labor laws which states that minors:
May work between 7a.m. and 7p.m. (Except between June 1 and Labor day when working hours may be extended to 9 p.m.)
Minors may not be employed before 7a.m. or after 9p.m. depending on the date.
May not be employed more than 8 hours per day, or 3 hours per day on days when school is in session.
May not be employed more than 24 hours per week, or more than 48 hours per week when school is not in session.
Anyone under the age of 16 is required to have employment certificates (work permits) issued by the Superintendent of School or the school’s duly authorized agent. Employers must keep these certificates and proof of age as part of the personnel record. Both documents should be obtained prior to the actual start of employment.
Work permits can be refused or revoked if the teen is not doing well in school.
