Walk It Through: The First Paycheck
Four hours on a school day at 16, nothing after 10 p.m. before school, and a statement with every rate.
A 16 year old student takes a job at a movie theater during the school year.

One student and one theater. Work permits, the entertainment exceptions, and the damages for a knowing failure to give a correct statement are not worked through here.
