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 12/07/08 Sophie from Othr said: What if you're qualified for the job? I know I'm responsible. I watch over five children while my mother works four nights a week. They are ages one, three, seven, eight and ten. I know what I wish to be when I'm "older". Why can't I have local experiance for it now? The government makes no sense!
