Answer 1

Age:

* A minor under the age of 14 may not be employed or permitted to work unless the child is a model, performer or entertainer with a special permit. Special permits are issued only by the Commissioner's Office. Information can be obtained by calling [phone].
* Minors 14 through 17 years of age may only work with a work permit.
* Certain activities are not considered employment for the purposes of this law provided the activity does not involve mining, manufacturing or hazardous occupations and it takes place outside the school day. Those activities include: farm work performed on a farm; domestic work performed in or about a home; work performed in a business owned or operated by a parent; work performed by unpaid volunteers, in a charitable or non-profit organization, employed with the written consent of the parent; caddying on a golf course; an instructor on an instructional sailboat; delivery of newspapers; work performed as a counselor, assistant counselor or instructor in a youth camp certified under the Maryland Youth Camp Act; and hazardous work performed by unpaid volunteers of a volunteer fire department who have completed or are taking a course of study relating to fire fighting or rescue and who are 16 years of age or older.

Hours:
Minors 14 and 15 years of age may not be employed or permitted to:

* work more than 4 hours on any day when school is in session
* work more than 8 hours a day on any day when school is not in session
* work more than 23 hours in any week when school is in session
* work more than 40 hours in any week when school is not in session
* work before 7:00 a.m. or after 8:00 p.m. Minors may work until 9:00 p.m. from Memorial Day to Labor Day.
* work more than 5 consecutive hours without a non-working period of at least 30 minutes.

Hours of work for minors employed by an employer covered by the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act are more restrictive than those allowed by Maryland law. In general, it is the more protective standards which apply.

Minors 16 and 17 years of age:

* May spend no more than 12 hours in a combination of school hours and work hours each day.
* Must be allowed at least 8 consecutive hours of non-work, non-school time in each 24 hour period.
* May not be permitted to work more than 5 consecutive hours without a non-working period of at least 30 minutes.
