It depends. If your employment is covered by the FLSA (see who is covered), then both federal and state laws apply--and the law with the most protections (whether state or federal) is followed. For more information about the child labor laws in your state, see State child labor standards. For more information you may also want to contact your state's department of labor. You can find the contact information for your state's labor standards agency at our site's state government agencies page. If your employment is not covered by the FLSA, then only state laws will apply.
