FEDERAL CHILD LABOR PROVISIONS
The federal child labor provisions, also known as the child labor laws, are authorized by the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) of 1938. These provisions were enacted to ensure that when young people work, the work is safe and does not jeopardize their health, wellbeing or educational opportunities. By knowing, understanding, and complying with these provisions, employers, parents, and teachers can help working teens enjoy those safe, positive, early work experiences that can be so important to their development.
CHILD LABOR BULLETIN No. 101
This booklet is a guide to the provisions of the FLSA (also known as the "Wage-Hour Law") which applies to minors employed in nonagricultural occupations. In addition to child labor provisions, the FLSA contains provisions on minimum wage, overtime, and recordkeeping.
See Child Labor Bulletin No. 102 for information regarding the employment of minors in agriculture.
OTHER LAWS THAT IMPACT CHILD LABOR
Other federal and state laws may have higher standards. When these apply, the more stringent standard must be observed. All states have child labor provisions, compulsory school attendance laws, and establish the minimum ages and conditions under which youths may operate motor vehicles.
Unless otherwise exempt, a covered minor employee is entitled to receive the same minimum wage, overtime, safety and health, and nondiscrimination protections as adult workers.
