    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.

    hey, why is it always the older kids who get evorything. Im 13 and I want a job to get ready for University. We have to start saving money. It`s not fair to the parents to always give what they earned at work. They need it more then to be asked all the time..Eventually they will say No! Who started this law anyways. IT`S NOT FAIR!!
