I have a question my sister is 16 and is working right now, i know that there is a labor law on high school students and how many hours they can work and what hours they can work. Does anyone know them???
Iam a manager at Mr. Gattis I know when the kids do a work program they can work 20 to 30 hrs. It really depends on the parent because kids have to study, but kids like money all you have to do do is tell the job what you want your child to work and they will work with you. Hope I helped M.
Looks like Miranda summed it up already for you. I was going to forward you to this site as well.
Good luck!
Prayers D.
My son is 16 and this is what his employer told me. He is allowed to work only 6 hours a day during the week and 8 hours on weekends. no 16 year old can work past 10pm. She just opened up her shop last week and had to go to a class on this, we live in N.Dallas Area...i am sure this is the same all over Dallas
I found this, and the last line of what I copied/pasted covers your question:
