Is a 14ry old allowed to work and what sort of things are they limited too?

Question

Other than a paper round....

Asking for my son who wants to earn some money for himself...Thanks.

Answer 1

In the UK a paper round is the only thing legally you can do and get payed for,but you can get around this there are other jobs like washing neighbours cars, baby sitting ,gardening etc but not officially for money.

Answer 2

Labor laws for minors are very complicated in the US your best bet is to contact the school and talk to the office that deals with work permits which are required for a minor to hold a job. There are 3 parts of a work permit, a parent form, a doctors form (they have to be healthy) and an employers form. All three must be complete and turned into the school. Then the employer gets the actual work permit and the minor can legally begin to work. When a child is 15 they can do little legally and the hours as well as the duration are limited. Frankly paper routes, lawn work, babysitting and odd jobs for neighbors will net him more work and more money.

Answer 3

He can try local businesses, like Library stuff or small town shops. Some stores only hire 18+, because they don't want to deal with working papers.
Maybe he should offer a service, like dog walking, or gardening? Or he could start a small camp-ish thing for local friends, charge 20 bucks, play sports, watch movies, give out snacks, and have fun making some cash.

Answer 4

I'm not sure,apart from paper round maybe help the milkman!

Failing that you could ask the family if they have any jobs that they would like doing,things they have been putting off.
This would lighten their load and give your son some extra money. Its great to hear he wants to earn money at that age,you have certainly brought him up well.
Hope that helps.

Answer 5

im 14 and i work at a barn, i do horse training, but i guess you have to have experience to do that (ive been doing it since i was 4) so i train little kids and i help out with the horses and crap, the pay is good and i get to keep my horses there free as part of my contract, but apart from that you can work in like a publix, mc donalds, anything that dpesnt require too much work should be fine

Answer 6

yes 14 yr olds r allowed 2 work.well in georgia they r anyways i'm sure there limits there probably like u can't work in bars and strip clubs some crap like that i don't really know and u have 2 ask ur conselor about it and fill this form out 2 get a job

Answer 7

yes they can they can only work 16 hours tho, i know they can do a majority of stuff, shop work, hairdressin, glass collector (weekend days only). they can also do trainee jobs. i dont think they can do work that involves food or machinery due to insurance purposes. when the 14yr old applys for a job ushould ask what the minimum age is for the insurance where they work as its in there best interest to know as well. hope this helps xx

Answer 8

Most areas the age you can start work is 16..Fast food mainly...Since he is still quite young...If he likes to yard mow,get him to ask around the neighborhood if they have any chores for him to do...He may earn some extra cash that way..Good Luck

Answer 9

its hard to find work for a 14 year year old as most copanys will not be covered for insurance, the only way is to do back handers but if anything goes wrong he will not be insured

Answer 10

ya he could mow people lawns and other things it just depends on where you live if you are in the city i am not sure but but in like a small town there can be like farm work and things
