FAQ
Minors 14 and 15 years of age When school is in session, they may work a maximum of 3 hours a day on school days, a maximum of 8 hours a day on non-school days, a maximum of 18 hours a week during school weeks. They may work between the hours of 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. They may not work during school hours.
Workers under age 18 must get a 30-minute break if they work for 6 or more consecutive hours. Night work is not allowed for minors of these ages during these hours: 14 and 15: 7 pm (9 pm from June 1st – Labor Day) to 7 am. 16 and 17: Can work until a.m.(16 year olds) or 1am (17 year olds) on non-school nights.
Minors under 18 may not work more than 8 hours a day, 6 days a week. Minors 14 and 15 may not work more than 40 hours a week. 16 and 17 year-olds may not work more than 48 hours a week.
There are federal child labor laws that need to be followed for minors and then state laws vary as well. Minors, 14--15 years olds cannot work over 8 hours a day, no more than 3 hours a day on a school day and no more than 18 hours a week while in school.
Unlike some other states, South Carolina does not require juvenile work permits. This means that a teen does not need to get any special permission from the state to begin working. Nonetheless, important laws do restrict the ability of businesses to employ them.
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.

Trust me, this is a very common question and many like you are surprised that there is no federal law requiring that employees be given breaks in the United States. An employer has the right to make you work 12 hours without a break or even 16 hours.
