The Fair Labor
Standards Act (FLSA) provides for certain exemptions. Minors under age 16
working in a business solely owned or operated by their parents or by persons
standing in place
of their parents, can work any time of day and for any number of hours.
However, parents are prohibited from employing their child in manufacturing or
mining or in any of the occupations declared
hazardous by the
Secretary of Labor. Other exemptions to the FLSA are detailed in the links
listed below.
All exemptions to agricultural employment rules are statutory in
nature and the Department's regulations reflect laws enacted by the
U.S.
Congress.
Exemptions from Child
Labor Rules in Non-Agricultural Occupations
Employment as motion
picture, theater, radio, or television actors, working at home in the making of
