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.

On 01/05/05 Sarah from FL said: Hi, i'm frum the uk and just 13 and here we r allowed 2 apply for jobs at quite a young age. I know its unfair but i think that at 12 and 13 especially if ur in yr 9 tht u want 2 b concentrating on ur sats or work at skl. There will b other chances and why don't u do a bit of extra work around the house to get soem spare cash. It's basically the sme. Think about it, once you've had enough its hard just quit. xxx
