If your employer is subject to federal child labor laws, then federal law states that minors age 14 and 15 can work as many as 18 hours a week during a week when school is in session, and as many as 40 hours a week during a week when school is not in session. It also states that minors age 14 & 15 may not work before 7:00 a.m., nor after 7:00 p.m., except June 1 through Labor Day they can work until 9:00 p.m.
Check out Title 29 of the US Code of Federal Regulations, Part 570, or www.dol.gov, or call the US Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division at 1-866-4US-WAGE. And also, contact your state's Lieutenant Governor's Office (in the blue pages of your phone book) - they can tell you whether your state has more restrictive child labor laws and what department you would need to contact to find out what they are. Hope this helps.

I started working when I was 15, many years ago, and I was allowed 15-20 a week.
High five to any 15 year old that has the motivation to get a job!

Every state has different child labor laws. If you have a work permit, the hours should be listed on it. Or try looking online at your state's employment office site.

Children with good physic can work more than their weaker counterparts. But their maturity level is more or less same. Involving children in creative and productive tasks for short time is always better than forcing them to do unproductive jobs for long hours.
