New Law Changes in Effect for Employers Hiring Minors

Teenager cutting metal with older man teachingWith summer right around the corner, teenagers will soon be out of school—and out looking for a place to work. If you’re planning on hiring teenagers during the summer months and beyond, be sure you’re familiar with the recent labor law changes that will impact employers that hire workers under 18 years old to avoid costly penalties.

Join our May 2nd Wednesday session:

Moderator Paul Millenbach welcomes labor and employment attorneys Courtney Agrusa and Tony Dalimonte as they provide both a public and private employer's perspective on recent rule changes to the Youth Employment Standards Act including:

  • Changes to hours that minors can work while attending and not attending school.
  • Current and upcoming changes on acquiring minor work permits with the new centralized permit system through the Department of Labor & Economic Opportunity (LEO)
  • The penalties and fines for noncompliance.
  • The importance of maintaining accurate records of work permits, wage compliance, and sick leave accruals to avoid fines and criminal charges.
