FAQ

The law recognizes a minor as lacking the capacity to contract. Therefore, contracts with a minor are voidable. This, however, does not apply to the circumstances where minors are legally allowed to get into a contract and be fully obliged to the terms and conditions. Examples of such circumstances include necessities.

Arizona law provides specific time limits for filing personal injury claims, known as the statute of limitations. For minors, the statute of limitations is generally tolled, or paused, until they reach the age of 18. This means that the time limit for filing a claim typically starts when the minor turns 18.

No federal laws restrict how many hours 16- to 18-year-olds can work.

Minors under 16 may not work before 6 a.m. or after p.m. on school days and until 11 p.m. on non-school days. When school is not in session (or the minor is not enrolled in school), minors under 16 may not work before 6 a.m. or after 11 p.m. on school days but may work 8 hours a day for a total of 40 hours a week.

Breaks: While there is no specific state law requiring breaks for minors, federal law (FLSA) requires that if an employee works more than 5 consecutive hours, they must be given a break of at least 30 minutes. So, if a 16-year-old is working 8 consecutive hours, they must be provided with at least a 30-minute break.

A.R.S. 23-233 restricts the hours that youths under the age of sixteen (16) can work. No one under the age of sixteen (16) can work more than three (3) hours on a school day when enrolled in school on a day when school is in session, eight (8) hours on a non-school day for a total of eighteen (18) hours per week.

In general, minors under the age of 18 cannot enter into a legally binding contract. However, there are some exceptions in the state of Arizona, such as agreements for emergency medical services and even educational loans (A.R.S. §44, sections 131-140).
