A first job at 15, the hours in summer and school, a break after five hours, and jobs that are off limits.

A 15 year old starts a summer job at a snack bar. The manager offers long shifts.

A summer and school year job at 15. Agricultural work, apprenticeship programs, and work for a parent are treated differently and left out.

A practice walkthrough, not a prediction of how any real one will go. Legal information, not legal advice.
