Socalled 'Right To Work' Law Repealed in Michigan

In my opinion FLRB child labor hours regulations are very lax.

Child labor daily work hour regulations (excluding agricultural and occupations banned for children under the age of 18):

• Children under 14 years of age may not be employed in non-agricultural occupations covered by the FLSA. Permissible employment for such children is limited to work that is exempt from the FLSA (such as delivering newspapers to the consumer and acting).

• Children ages 14 and 15 cannot work before 7 a.m. or after 9 p.m., more than eight hours a day or more than 40 hours a week.

• Children ages 16 and 17 may be employed for unlimited hours in any occupation other than those declared hazardous by the Secretary of Labor

For 14 and 15 year olds, Federal law includes a number of other restrictions for hours of work when school is in session and limitations on the type of work that can be performed.

Thanks Mike, i found the limit for 14 and 15 year olds during the school year on this DOL website. The details are listed in footnote b which I cut & pasted below:

Footnote b Students of 14 and 15 enrolled in approved Work Experience and Career Exploration programs may work during school hours up to 3 hours on a school day and 23 hours in a school week.
