    Question: What are the laws concerning jobs for 13-year olds?

    Answer: The Fair Labor Standards Act states that the minimum age for employment is 14 years old. A 14-year old that is a full-time student would be allowed to work in a retail establishment as long as the employer has obtained certifications from the Department of Labor. A business could be fined $10,000 for hiring someone under the age of 14. The age requirements for agricultural employment are slightly different.

    you cant get a job under 14 because of the dangers involved. And, you cant work in BK or McDonalds until your about 16 because you're working in a kitchen. You guys must realize that the law protects you and a kitchen is one of the most dangerous places beside construction
