printer friendly version
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.

OK people are always saying that kids are so immature. Don't they think that allowing them to work at a younger age than will make them more responsible? What is the use of waiting until they are 16? That is such a waste of time. What if they need the extra money to help out there family? It just isn't fair!!!
