FAQ
In Arizona, there is no requirement for special forms or written parental consent for minors under 18 to be employed. However, employers must request proof of age from the minor (any legal document will suffice).
Minors aged 16 and 17 may work, but not in hazardous jobs. During the school year, minors under 16 may not work more than 3 hours a day while school is in session and 8 hours on non-school days.
Children who are 14 and 15 years old are allowed to work in a range of jobs in Arizona but there are limits on the number of hours they can work. This differs depending on whether school is in session or not. While school is in session, 14 and 15-year old children may work: Up to 18 hours per week.
While school is not in session, 14 or 15-year old children may work: Up to 40 hours per week. Up to 8 hours per day. Until p.m. on days when there is no school the following day.
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.
Night work is not allowed for minors of these ages during these hours: 14 and 15: May not work before 7 AM or after 7 PM (9 PM June 1 through Labor Day). 16 and 17: May not work before 6 AM or past PM (11 PM with parental permission) preceding school day or 1 AM preceding non-school day.
Legal Hours and Jobs for Minors Minors are also not allowed to work before 7 a.m. or after 7 p.m., except between June 1 and Labor Day when the evening hour is extended to 9 p.m. This age group cannot work during school hours. No federal laws restrict how many hours 16- to 18-year-olds can work.
If you are over compulsory school age, and you're 16 or 17, the law refers to you as a young worker. There are fewer restrictions on when you can work and for how long, but there are still some rules. You'll only be able to work for eight hours every day, or a total of 40 hours over the course of a week.
Check what times of day you can work In most jobs, you can't normally be asked to work between 10pm and 6am. If your contract says you have to work until 11pm, that's alright but you shouldn't start work before 7am the next morning. You can be asked to work at other times in exceptional circumstances.
