Federal U.S. labor laws,
state labor laws and
OSHA laws
apply to youth workers. Be aware that some of these links will send you to specific state sites that
may make reference to laws governing employers and employees in that
state only. Employers must comply with both federal and state
laws. When federal and state standards are different, the
rules that provide the most protection to youth workers will apply. |
