Minors employed as actors or performers in motion pictures or
theatrical productions, or in radio or television productions are exempt from
Fair Labor Standards Act
(FLSA) coverage. Therefore, FLSA rules regarding total allowable number of
work hours in one day and allowable times of day to work do not apply.
Many states regulate the employment of minors in the entertainment
industry more strictly than does the
Fair Labor Standards
Act. Please consult your state department of labor for more specific
information.
