  1. Here's what the new york department of labor says in regards to child labor, I hope it helps:

    The limitations on the working hours of minors depend upon age, the type of work, and whether the minor is attending school. New York State has one of the most stringent child labor laws in the country, which limits the number of hours that minors under 18 may work when school is in session. lt requires that l6 and l7 year-olds may not work past 10 p.m. on the night before a school day without written permission from a parent and a certificate of satisfactory academic standing from their school.

    Minors may not work during the hours when they are required to attend school. When school is in session, generally from September to June, minors 14 and 15 years-old may not work in any occupation except farm labor and selling or distributing newspapers for:

    more than 3 hours on any school day

    more than 8 hours on a Saturday or a non-school day

    more than 18 hours in any week

    more than 6 days in any week.

    However, if a 14 or 15 year-old minor is employed as part of any type of supervised work study or work experience program that is approved by the Commissioner of Education, they may work 3 hours on a school day and 23 hours a week, instead of 3 hours a day and 18 hours a week. See Permitted Working Hours Chart.

    When school is in session, minors 16 and 17 years-old enrolled in a day school, other than a part-time or continuation school, may not work in any occupation (except farm work and selling or distributing newspapers):

    more than 4 hours on any day preceding a school day (M, T, W, Th.)

    more than 8 hours on Friday, Saturday, Sunday, or Holiday

    more than 28 hours in any week

    more than 6 days in any week.

    However, students enrolled in a cooperative work experience program approved by the Department of Education may be employed up to a maximum of 6 hours on a day preceding a school day other than a Sunday or a holiday if these hours are in conjunction with the program. Any hours worked in such program shall be included when calculating the number of hours worked for the 4 hour maximum.

    When school is not in session, and during vacations (school must be closed for the entire calendar week), minors under 18 generally may not work more than 8 hours a day, 6 days a week; minors 14 and 15 may not work more than 40 hours a week and 16 and 17 year-olds may not work more than 48 hours a week. See Permitted Working Hours Chart.

    Federal legislation limits the work of 14 and 15 year-olds in firms engaged in interstate commerce to a maximum 3-hour day and 18-hour week when school is in session and to an 8-hour day and 40-hour week when school is not in session. (School must be closed for the entire calendar week.)

    In school cafeterias, a minor who has an employment certificate may work during the lunch period at the school he or she attends.

    On farms, 12 and 13 year-olds who have farm work permits to pick berries, fruits, or vegetables may not work more than 4 hours per day, before 9 a.m. or after 4 p.m. or when school is in session from the day after Labor Day to June 2Oth. From June 21st to Labor Day, they may work 4 hours per day between the hours of 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. There are no hour regulations for farm work that apply to minors 14 years of age or older. (See footnote 2 on Permitted Working Hours Chart)

    When a minor is employed in two or more establishments in the same day or week, the total time of employment may not exceed the daily or weekly allowance for a single establishment


  2. 40 hours a week. After 40 hours, it is required to get paid overtime.

  3. i work 8 1/2 a day, but on your working papers it says 40 hours a week and like 8 hours a day. There specfics on your working papers.

  4. about 7 hours a day for a good reputation.
