Michigan doesn't seem to have a law for this

Answer 2

None.Neither exist under state or federal laws.Hours are not even an issue as I raised hypotheticals with the depts in phone calls.

Answer 3

From Michigan's Department of Labor website:

Employees under 18 years of age may not work more than 5 continuous hours without a 30 minute uninterrupted rest period. There are no requirements for breaks, meal or rest periods for employees over 18 years of age.

I also live in Michigan and think workers always get screwed
