Walk It Through: The Summer Job at Fifteen

A restaurant job, a closing shift, and the limits of eight hours and 40 a week.

A restaurant hires a teen under 16 and puts them on the schedule to close late on a Sunday night during the school year.

Two things a person in this spot might do. Picking one shows what the law says about it.

A teen in a restaurant. Farm work, a cooperative vocational program, and hazardous jobs barred by other rules are not part of this one.

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