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 04/23/03 Quinn from CA said: 13 and 14 are hardly a difference. Why should you have to wait until you are 14. If you are a good students and responsible enough to apply for a job you are responsible enough to HAVE a job. Most people could use a little extra cash and having a job is a positive way to get that extra cash and knowing that you earned it is even better. I say drop the you have t be 14 years old law. 13 year olds are just as responsible and some are even better than the older teens.

I also think its unfair for 13 year olds to not work i mean they need money to to get them stuff! teenagers should have all rights to work!!!
On 04/22/03 Jason from MA said: I disagree I think That Once You are Thirteen And You Want to Have A Job Then You Should be able To Get One. With A Parents Permission Of Course!
On 04/21/03 Janet from MD said: I want a job because I need to buy my own stuff and take care of family.
On 04/20/03 Jackie from MA said: I am a 13 year old that would very much enjoy some cash right now but knowin i worked for it. I dont see why a 13 yr. old cant have a job were no different than a 14 year old. I THINK all that matter when your gettin hired is the managers decision to say if ur mature or not or ready for the job or not. If we want a job we are sure enough mature and ready. There are alot of 13 year olds that are probably better workers than 16 year olds but how would u know? cause you havent tried us..now think bout this cause i really want a job. Thank you! J
