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 01/29/07 Jacob from ID said: I think 14+ year olds should be able to work because it teaches them responsibility and they would have money to spend and keep in savings... 14 year olds should get to work also because what if they go to a private school that costs $6,000.00 a year to go to and you need to help pay for it!! Thats why 14+ year olds should get to work... Thats why 14+ year olds should get to work... Thank You..

On 01/26/07 spenser from IA said: i to think they should make jobs for us 13 year olds. Its not fair because we want to support our family and relatives but they wont let us get jobs. Ilooked all over leeds and no one can hire me because im 13. I think they should let us 13 because we are just as responsible as the 14-up ages so what they think were stupid or something.
