Minimum work age - tanTALK

Does anyone know the minimum work age in the state of Florida? How can I get that information?

Check with your state's Labor Board. Our State allows workers to be as young as 14 years with a signed work permit. The permit states which hours the students are allowed to work and maximum hours per week they can work. Also check on your state's requirements for age limits if you are planning to have only one employee work during a shift. Our state doesn't allow minors to be alone regardless of the shift.

I believe it's 14 there also, but if you can kidnap them the age is reduced as per your need.

Geeeze neon... LOL

Most are 14, but if your state requires certification they would have to be 18.

Your local health dept may know.

unless they are related, then as soon as they can read or write. Oh, and follow directions

Can a 17 year old work with another minor in the store alone or does someone 18 or over have to be present.

It depends on the state.

In Florida, a person under the age of 18 must have someone over 18 with them at all times. Also only 18 or older is allowed to be an operator. I require 18 or older to work in my salon. I occasionally will hire under 18 for bed cleaners only, but they are always with someone 18 or older. (at least this is what I have been told by my inspector.)
