If students under age 18 are hired, the Fair Labor Standards Act restricts the type of work they can perform.
Several guidelines follow.
This age group may work at any time for unlimited hours in all jobs declared not hazardous. In addition to the previously stated hazardous occupations, they may not operate or tend most power-driven machinery, such as mowers, hoisting or lifting apparatus, pits, racks, tire repair equipment, and work connected with warehousing, storage or to carriers for transportation. Verification of Age Candidates between the ages of 14 to 16 years of age must obtain a work permit and submit it to the Payroll Office. Work permits may be obtained through the school in which the candidate is attending or through the Superintendent of Schools office. For more information, contact human resources, ext.
