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 07/20/06 megan from TN said: I am 13 years old and I think that we should have a job. I want to work with my brother. But you have to be 15. I don't want to wait that long. I have to wait even longer than that because my b-day is in Sep. so I have to wait a half of a year because that is when school starts. It is stupid that we can't have jobs!!!!!!! I want a job to get money and I would be a more responsible adult if I had one. Thanks, megan
