But as employers, they have an obligation to ensure child labor laws are followed,” said Wage and Hour Division District Director Patricia Lewis. “Child labor laws protect teens’ health and ensure their first job experiences are positive and manageable with schooling and other commitments.”Under the law referenced in the DOL’s press release, minors must not work more than eight hours per day — three hours on school days. Employers are required to limit a minor’s working hours to 40 hours per week — or 18 hours during the school year.
