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 12/06/03 Erica from CA said: I think that we should be able to work cause it teaches us to be more independant. I mean we can't bank on our parents all our lives. We have to GROW UP!!! At least let us have part time jobs. It's way better that getting no money at all. I'm 14 and my parents keep telling me I can only get a job when i turn 16!!! 16??? I like to go to the mall and shop but its very hard to cause I always have to ask my parents. So that's why I think that the law should change and I say that at the of 13 we can start working.
