FAQ
Do minors need a work permit or working papers to work? No. Employers must obtain and keep proof of age on record during the employment of the minor.
A minor who goes to school from 8am to 3pm (7 hours) may work for 1 hour between the time they get out of school and 7pm. A minor who gets out of school early and attends school from 8am-1pm (5 hours) may work 3 hours between the time they get out of school and 7pm.
HOURS OF WORK, WHEN SCHOOL IS IN SESSION Florida: May work up to 30 hours per week. Not before a.m. or later than 11 p.m. and for no more than 8 hours a day when school is scheduled the following day. On days when school does not follow, there are no hour restrictions.
Breaks: While there is no specific state law requiring breaks for minors, federal law (FLSA) requires that if an employee works more than 5 consecutive hours, they must be given a break of at least 30 minutes. So, if a 16-year-old is working 8 consecutive hours, they must be provided with at least a 30-minute break.
Minors age 16-17 years of age: Cannot work more than 30 hours in any one week while school is in session. May not work more than 8 hours or work during school hours, unless as part of a career education program or there is no session of school the following day.
Do minors need a work permit or working papers to work? No. Employers must obtain and keep proof of age on record during the employment of the minor.
When it comes to child labor, the FLSA sets out what types of jobs that minors—those under 18—can do and the number of hours that minors can work. Federal law does not, however, require minors to obtain a work permit in order to hold a job, although many states impose such a requirement.
There is no days per week restriction. 16 and 17-year-old minors enrolled in school may not work for more than nine hours in any one day, 40 hours in a school week, 48 hours in a non-school week, and six days in any one week.
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, request can be made by contacting the Illinois State Board of Education.
Effective July 1, 2024, Florida House Bill (HB) 49 amends Florida's Child Labor Law to ease certain restrictions on child labor and allow parents and school superintendents to waive the thirty-hours-per-week work limitation.
