Description

The document outlines the work labor law for minors in Suffolk as part of a multi-state Employment Law Handbook by U.S. Legal Forms, Inc. It emphasizes the Fair Labor Standards Act, which regulates the employment of minors, permitting those aged 16 to 18 to work in non-hazardous occupations without interfering with schooling. Minors aged 14 to 16 can work under specific conditions that safeguard their health and education. The document also provides critical insights for legal professionals, such as attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants, who may assist clients in navigating child labor regulations. Users should ensure compliance with both federal and state laws, as state regulations, like those in New York, may set stricter requirements for young workers. The handbook serves as a guide to understand employment rights, making it a useful resource for legal practitioners assisting young clients or employers in hiring minors. It emphasizes that child labor laws aim to protect minors while allowing them to gain work experience, and it encourages consulting state departments for specific local regulations.

FAQ

When school is not in session, and during vacations (school must be closed for the entire calendar week), minors under 18 generally may not work more than 8 hours a day, 6 days a week; minors 14 and 15 may not work more than 40 hours a week and 16 and 17 year-olds may not work more than 48 hours a week.

A youth 18 years or older may perform any job, whether hazardous or not. A youth 16 or 17 years old may perform any non-hazardous job. (See the list of hazardous occupations below.) A youth 14 and 15 years old may not work in the manufacturing or mining industries, or in any hazardous job.

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.

Whether a minor can close a store alone will depend on company policy and state law. For example, some states require a minor to be supervised by an adult at all times, which wouldn't allow them to close a stone on their own.

There are federal child labor laws that need to be followed for minors and then state laws vary as well. Minors, 14--15 years olds cannot work over 8 hours a day, no more than 3 hours a day on a school day and no more than 18 hours a week while in school.

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.

Workers under age 18 must get a 30-minute break if they work for 6 or more consecutive hours. Night work is not allowed for minors of these ages during these hours: 14 and 15: 7 pm (9 pm from June 1st – Labor Day) to 7 am. 16 and 17: Can work until a.m.(16 year olds) or 1am (17 year olds) on non-school nights.

Trust me, this is a very common question and many like you are surprised that there is no federal law requiring that employees be given breaks in the United States. An employer has the right to make you work 12 hours without a break or even 16 hours.

Overview. If you are aged 14-17 you will need an employment certificate, also called working papers, in order to hold a job in New York State. This rule covers: High school graduates.
