    • If federal laws, state laws and school district policies conflict, the more restrictive law (that which is most protective of the employee) prevails.

    • Generally, minors must attend school until age 18 unless they are 16 years or older and have graduated from high school or received a state Certificate of Proficiency.

    • Employers of minors required to attend school must complete a “Statement of Intent to Employ Minor and Request for Work Permit” (form B1-1) for the school district of attendance for each such minor.

    • Employers must retain a “Permit to Employ and Work” (form B1-4) for each such minor.

    • Work permits (B1-4) must be retained for three years and open at all times for inspection by sanctioned authorities.

    • A work permit (B1-4) must be revoked whenever the issuing authority determines the employment is illegal or is impairing the health or education of the minor.

     

    Minors under the age of 18 may not work in occupations declared hazardous for young workers as listed below:

    01. Coal mining
    02. Excavation operation
    03. Explosives
    04. Logging and sawmilling

    • Minors younger than 16 years are allowed to work only in limited, specified occupations which exclude baking, manufacturing, processing, construction, warehouse, and transportation occupations.

    • In addition to safety regulations, labor laws applicable to adult employees are also generally applicable to minor employees, including workers’ compensation insurance requirements.

    • Child labor laws do not generally apply to minors who deliver newspapers or work at odd jobs, such as yard work and baby-sitting, or in private homes where the minor is not regularly employed.

    • A day of rest from work is required if the total hours worked per week exceed 30 or if more than 6 hours are worked on any one day during the week.
