Walk It Through: The First Job

A summer job for an Oregon student under 16, from the hours to the pay stub and the rate.

In July, a student under 16 starts at an ice cream shop. The manager posts a schedule that runs until 9 p.m.

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

One summer job at one shop. Employment certificates, hazardous jobs, agricultural work, and the rules for workers aged sixteen and seventeen are not worked through here.

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