what jobs can you do under 14?

Answer 1

Not a great deal, legally. Employment laws are pretty tight on what is effectively child labour. From the quoted URL:

"If you are under 14, you are not allowed to work at all except in the following types of work:-

1) to take part in sport, advertising, modelling, plays, films, television or other entertainment. The employer must apply for a licence from the local authority
2) to do odd jobs for a parent, relative or neighbour
3) to do babysitting. However, if the child you are babysitting is thought to be at risk because it is not being looked after properly, the child's parents could be prosecuted, or action could be taken to put their child into care

Children of 13 or above may be able to do some other types of work, depending on the by-laws of the local authority in their area. For example, the by-laws may say that children of 13 and above in your area can do a paper-round, or that you can do light work which is not likely to be harmful to your health, safety or development."

There are a lot more limitations on what hours you can work and how often. Read the link for more info.

Answer 2

A paper round is about the only job that you can do, there are emplyment laws; see http://www.salford.gov.uk/learning/lea/parentscare/child-employment.htm
What is the law?

Children and young people can only work in a limited number of jobs and for a limited number of hours, until they reach the minimum school leaving date, which is the last Friday in June of the year in which they reach 16 years. Any employer who allows a child of school age to work, without first obtaining a work permit, is breaking the law and could be prosecuted.

Any child over the age of 13 years may work in their spare time, within the constraints as outlined below, but they must first apply for a work permit. An application form must be completed by the employer, signed by the parent or guardian of the child and returned to Education and Leisure Services. When authorised a work permit will be issued to the child and notification will be sent to the employer. If the child does not receive a work permit it might mean that no application has been made. This could mean that the child is not covered by the employer's insurance in the event of an accident at work.

Children aged 13 years

May only be employed in light work in specified occupations, some of which are listed below. For a complete list refer to Employment bye-laws.

delivery of newspapers
shop work - including shelf stacking
domestic work in hotels
cafe or restaurant
office work
Children aged 13 and 14

May only be employed in light work, for up 5 hours on any day on which they are not expected to attend school, up to a maximum of 25 hours each week. This does not include Sundays.

Answer 3

Not many, its all because of insurance, it costs the businesses too much to insure under 16's and stuff. It also helps when you get your national insurance number. But, saying that I'm 16 and have my NI number and can't find a job anywhere! Good Luck though =D

Answer 4

mmm. you should research that one. Maybe with the search: Jobs for people under 14. They are making a petition targeted on jobs for 14 year olds but if you are younger than I dont' know. Research research research!

Answer 5

Well you can babysit, put up a lemonade stand. I know that might sound corny but hey, I buy it!!! Mow lawns or go to the grocery store for the elderly. Just look around your neighborhood and see what you think you should do.

Answer 6

Baby sitting is the best. I always made a ton of money doing that. Or, you can offer to help the elderly do things they can't do anymore. That usually pays okay too.

Answer 7

Washing cars, walking dogs, baby sitting, dog sitting, weeding gardens, mowing lawns. I reckon if you walk round a reasonable wealthy area, and knock on doors asking if they've got any jobs for you, you'll find plenty.
