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.
