Minimum Age for Non-hazardous Work

In jobs that are not considered particularly hazardous, the FLSA sets the normal minimum age for employment in agriculture at 14 years, whereas in every other industry the normal minimum age is 16 years.

In agriculture there are three exceptions to the normal age 14 minimum age:

(1) A child of ages 12 or 13 may work where a parent or guardian (a) consents to the child’s employment or (b) is employed on the same farm as the child.

(2) A child under age 12 may work where (a) the child is employed by a parent or guardian on a farm owned or operated by the parent or guardian, or (b) the child is employed, with the consent of a parent or guardian, on a small farm as defined in the FLSA.

(3) A child of age 10 or 11 may work as a hand-harvest laborer for no more than 8 weeks in a year.

In all other industries apart from agriculture, there is four exceptions to the normal age 16 minimum age:

(1) A child of age 14 or 15 may work in an occupation (except in mining or manufacturing) only if the Secretary of Labor determines that such work would not interfere with the child’s schooling or health and well-being. Using this authority, the Secretary has issued regulations permitting children of ages 14 and 15 to work in limited, specified jobs in retail food service, and gasoline service establishments.

(2) Child actors and performers are not subject to the FLSA’s child labor protections.

(3) Children engaged in the delivery of newspapers to the consumer are not subject to the FLSA’s child labor protections.

(4) Children working at home in making evergreen wreathes are not subject to the FLSA’s child labor protections.

Answer 5

I think you have to be 16 according to Louisiana's labor law. However the city of New Orleans is hosting a Job fair on 4/19/2008 at 10:00 a.m. at 1530 Thalia Street (just one block off of St. Charles Ave.) 504-568-7284. It is the 2008 Mayor's Summer Youth Program (ages 14-21). You must bring with you: birth certificated, soc. sec. card, pic id (school or state id), and proof of health insurance. Since your under 18 your parent or legal guardian have to accompany you.

Answer 6

nope 16 with a work permit

Answer 7

you can get this info at school or at the chambers of commerce(i think) you might look into if you need working papers... just let them know you are a newbi and don't know anything about the process
