Every year, millions of teens work in part-time or summer jobs that provide great opportunities for learning important life skills
and acquiring hands-on experience.
Federal and State rules regarding young workers strike a balance between ensuring sufficient time for educational opportunities
and allowing appropriate work experiences.
There are many opportunities for your business to employ young workers – and help prepare young workers to be competitive in the 21st Century workplace. But,
there are also Federal and State rules limiting the hours teens can work and the types of jobs
that teens can work. The YouthRules! partners want to help employers understand and comply
with these rules. We encourage you to join the YouthRules! team to help ensure that young workers have a safe and rewarding
work experience.
The resources on this web site will help you understand what hours and jobs
teens can work. On the Safety & Health page, employers will find advice for
preventing workplace injuries to young workers.
