Many Summer Jobs Open to Teen-Agers Under USDL Wage Law

Firms that hire teen-agers for summer jobs can remain in com pliance with the Federal child labor law by applying some sim pie rules" says John R. Dille, re- gional director of the U. s. De- partment of Labor's Wage and Hour and Public Contracts Divi- Sions.
 Boys and girls of Is and IT, just like adult workers, can work under the Fair Labor Standards Act in any and all jobs-whether factories, wholesale houses, com munications or other industries, except that they cannot work in occupations which the Secretary of Labor has found hazardous to minors under IS. This is the ONLY child-labor restriction ap- plying to 16-and 17-year-olds un- der this law. The minimum wage and overtime provisions of the law are applicable to both minors and adults.
 ''Even children of IA and 15 may be employed in office and sales work, in fruit and vegetable packing sheds, and in some other kinds of jobs-as long as they do not work in rooms where goods are manufactured or pro- cessed, or in manufacturing, min ing, processing or similar jobs.
 During summer vacation, the IA or 15-year-old may work as many as eight hours day and 40 a week. When school is in session, much more stringent restrictions apply. Employers should also note that the 14- or 15-year-old is not permitted to work before 7 a. m. or after ' pm"
 As to jobs with an 18year age minimum, Dille explains that they include work as motor vehicle driver or drivers helper, elevator operator, and jobs in volving riding on freight ele- vator, unless it is run by an as signed operator. Also covered by the 18-year-minimum are most jobs in logging and saw milling, and the operation of a variety of machines.
