Walk It Through: The Summer Job

A teen's first job, from the school night window to the summer week.

A fifteen year old is offered shifts at an ice cream stand that run late into school nights.

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

One teen and one employer. Work permits, prohibited occupations, farm work and the federal hour rules are not worked through here.

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