This depends on what you mean. Minors can actually enter into contracts.Minors are not permitted to enter a contract under certain exceptions such as sports contracts or purchase of goods. Your interns should be treated like employees whether they are 17 or 18. That means, they should be paid at least minimum wage for the hours they work. When voiding contracts, minors must return any received items in reasonable condition. This reflects basic fairness principles in contract law. Pennsylvania law does not allow a parent to sign away their minor child's personal injury claim based on a parental relationship. First, an applicant's parent or legal guardian must sign the application. Due to the gap in the FLSA, minors enter labor contracts.
