It's the Law. To protect the safety of Illinois teenagers, and place of priority on their education, minors age 14 or 15 may work, but not without first obtaining an Employment Certificate from their local high school or school administration office 820 ILCS 2059/9-12.
When public school is in session, minors 16 & 17 may not work before a.m. or after 11 p.m. or for more than 8 hours per day, when school is scheduled the following day, nor during the hours that school is in session.
The limitations on the times of day and the hours of work permitted for minors are detailed. Children under 16 may not work for more than 8 hours per day, or for more than 6 consecutive days in a week, or in excess of 48 hours in a week.
Minors are required to receive a 30 minute break if they work 6 hours or more. That's Federal Law. You'll need to double check your state laws to confirm it isn't different.
Minors may NOT work: More than 18 hours during a week when school is in session; More than 40 hours during a week when school is not in session; More than 8 hours in any single 24-hour period; More than 3 hours per day or more than 8 hours total of work and school hours on days when school is in session.
Whether to permit a minor to work is at the discretion of the minor's parent. Incidentally, under the law, the minor's wages belong to the custodian parent of the minor.
Some states, such as Tennessee and Florida, don't require work permits for minors. In these states, companies that employ under-18 workers must obtain written proof of a minor employee's age, and documentation should be kept on file for the duration of the minor's employment.
A minor must be 14 years old to work. {Exemptions are children that work in a parent's business in a non-hazardous occupation, newspaper delivery (10 years old), pages in the Florida Legislature and minors approved to work in the entertainment industry.}
How does a minor get a work permit? To begin the process of seeking a minor work permit, the parent/guardian should contact the school district or Regional Office of Education in their area to inquire if it can be obtained locally. If not, a request can be made by contacting the Illinois State Board of Education.
Minors age 14-15 years of age: Cannot work more than 15 hours in any one week while school is in session. May not work more than 3 hours or work during school hours, unless as part of a career education program or there is no session of school the following day.
