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 10/01/08 Zak from AZ said: This is unfair. I think 13 year olds are responsible enough for a decent job. Besides, our economy is in bad shape and we could use more people to take up small jobs like convience stores or drive thru stuff, Leave the older people to do major jobs that younger people can't do.
