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 07/03/06 Catherine from OH said: It should not matter if you are 13 14 or 15 to know if you could execute a job. If you are 13 and you are responsible you could perform just as well as any 15 year old. Im 13. Why can't I wash hair at a salon? Put makeup on people? Be a waitress. It's not that hard to carry drinks and understand someones order. You're parents hate spending money on you but what can you do? Its not like we can get jobs. " You're too young to drive to your job, you dont have a license" excuses, excuses! why cant we have stay at home jobs like adults? and what if your mom doesnt work and she offers to drive you?

On 07/02/06 Mariel from MO said: I am also 13 and I think that we should have jobs because whenever we ask for money our parents always say we should get a job anyway. So we should also have a job because some of us would just like to get our own money so we could spend it on ourselves and save it.
On 07/02/06 Daniela from NY said: We 13 year-olds deserve jobs because most of us work our butts off at home for no reward whatsoever!!!!!
