No. Youth employed in the delivery of newspapers to consumers are not covered by the FLSA's child labor and wage and hour provisions. This exemption applies to ► Carriers engaged in making deliveries to the homes of subscribers or other consumers of newspapers (including shopping news), and ► Employees engaged in the street sale or delivery of newspapers to the consumer. However, employees engaged in hauling newspapers to drop stations, distributing centers, and newsstands are not exempt, because they do not deliver to the consumer. Many states regulate minors employed as newspaper carriers more strictly than the FLSA does. Please consult your state's labor standards office for more specific information.
