When looking for new jobs, it’s important for parents to be aware of The Fair Labor Standards Act, which “contains rules concerning the employment of young workers, those under the age of 18, and is administered and intended to protect the health and well-being of youth in America. The FLSA contains minimum age restrictions for employment, restrictions on the times of day youth may work, and the jobs they may perform.'‘
