Question

Thank you for all your help. She is now the happiest 14yr old sweeper upper the hairdressing trade has ever seen.

Answer 1

YES and then again NO

he Protection of Young People at Work came into force in the UK on 4 August 1998. This stipulates that:

* children must have a two-week break from any work during the school holidays in each calendar year.
* local authorities must have a list of jobs which 13 year olds can do. No 13 year old can work in a job not on the list.

Children may work for:

* a maximum of two hours on schooldays
* a maximum of two hours on Sundays
* a maximum of five hours (13 to 14 year olds) or eight hours (15 to 16 year olds) on Saturdays
* a maximum of 12 hours per week

During school holidays they may work for up to five hours (13 to 14 year olds) or eight hours (15 to 16 year olds) on weekdays subject to a maximum weekly limit of 25 hours (13 to 14 year olds) or 35 hours (15 to 16 year olds).

Children may not work:

* for more than one hour before school
* during school hours
* before 7:00am or after 7:00pm
* for more than four hours without taking a break of at least one hour
* without an employment permit issued by the LA
* in any industrial setting, e.g. factory, building site, etc.
* in any occupations prohibited by local bylaws or other legislation, e.g. pubs, betting shops or in any work that may be harmful to their health, well-being or education

The national minimum wage only applies to people aged 18 years old or over. Employers who contravene the rules face fines of up to £1,000.

Answer 2

You can start working at 13. But there are time limits.

13 and 14 year olds can only work a MAXIMUM of 3 hours a week - Monday through to Friday.

15 and 16 year olds (while in Full Time Education) can work a MAXIMUM of 10 hours a week - 7 of these can be on Saturday.

It is ILLEGAL for anyone UNDER 13 to do Babysitting.

Answer 3

Depends on the state. In some states, sex with a 14 year old girl is illegal under all conditions, but it is not considered statutory rape, but something else. One thing is certain though - in EVERY state it is dangerous and ill-advised for a 14 year old to have sex. You aren't prepared for the consequences - getting pregnant, getting an STD, having your self-esteem crushed by thinking your whole identity comes from that space between your legs.

Answer 4

Do you want to follow a winning sports betting system but don't have time to analyze the stats and probabilities yourself?
Are you tired of losing by following so called sports guru's that have no clue what they are doing?

Answer 5

they can do a paper round from the age of 13, but the employer will give out a work permit for the parents to fill out, i expect there are plenty of other jobs out there for a 14 year old, but the hours will be restricted.

Answer 6

Yes they can work. They can only work a certain amount of hours in a day (3 in new jersey). They can only work until a certain time on the weekdays and weekends. it's different during the summer. and they can't work a certain amount of days consecutively.

A written parents consent is needed during certain times during the summer.

Answer 7

No, but sometimes they can get a work permit from school and have a parent sign it. It's still up to the employer whether to allow someone of that age.

Answer 8

Yes but you get paid little, and its only a few things you can do as there is a restriction on times.

Answer 9

u can work but only certain hours like paper round and babysitting good luck

Answer 10

Yes, but the are restrictions on how long you can work.
