    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.

    Hi I don't want to say my name. I'm thirteen about to turn fourteen in July. I was going to get a part time job with my dad, but his boss said I have to be fifteen to work. The law is you have to be fourteen but they don't care they still say I have to be fifteen. Well thats all I have to say so later. P.S that so messed up isn't

    I am 13 years old and sick of staying home alone bored and nothin to do. Why do we have to be 14 to get a job. 13 is just starting to become more important and someone different and we should be able to have a job. At least at grocery stores. If you agree keep fight for what you think is right, If not then go away. How many times do I have to here "you what that than get a job" before I get a Job?
