Federal US labor
laws,
state labor laws, and
OSHA laws
apply to youth
workers. Be aware
that some of these
links will send you
to specific state
sites that may make
reference to laws
governing employers
and employees in
that state only.
Employers must
comply with both
federal and state
laws. When federal
and state standards
are different, the
rules that provide
the most protection
to youth workers
will apply. |
