Walk It Through: The Summer Job

A teenager's first job, long shifts in July, a dangerous machine, and a school year schedule.

A teenager under 16 lands a job at an ice cream stand for the school year after a summer there.

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

A teenager under 16 working for a business. A child under 14, farm work, a parent's own business, and minimum wage for minors are not worked through here.

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