Walk It Through: The Summer Job at Fifteen

A first job, the minimum wage, a break in a long shift, and a work permit question about school hours.

A teenager of fifteen gets a summer job at an ice cream stand, and a younger sibling of thirteen wants one too.

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

A teen's summer job outside school hours. The hours limits set by regulation, hazardous jobs, and a school year schedule are not part of this walkthrough.

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