    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.

    It's against the michigan law to get a real job anywhere, but what the law doesnt concider is that alot of teenagers are very mature even if they are 13. Also, 13 year olds have hardships just as much as 14 and 16 year olds. So if you could please, please lower the age to work to 12 or 13(based on the maturity of the child. Thankyou!!!!!!!
