Under 18/Child Labor Laws

Generally speaking, the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) sets the minimum age for employment 

(14 years for non-agricultural jobs), restricts the hours youths under the age of 16 may work, and 

prohibits youths under the age of 18 from being employed in hazardous occupations. In addition, 

the FLSA establishes subminimum wage standards for certain employees who are less than 20 

years of age, full-time students, student learners, apprentices, and workers with disabilities. 

Employers generally must have authorization from the U.S. Department of Labor's Wage and 

hour Division in order to pay subminimum wage rates.
