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, my name is Cassie and I want a job because I am tired of being home all alone and nothing to do. I think 13 year olds and up should be able to have a job and start learning the responsibility of hard work. I am a very athletic and responsible person and I know there are many teens just like me. thanks, Cassie.
