From the Department of Labor website:
Under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), youths 14 and 15 years old may work outside school hours in various non-manufacturing, non-mining, non-hazardous jobs under certain conditions.
Permissible work hours for 14- and 15-year-olds are:
3 hours on a school day;
18 hours in a school week;
8 hours on a non-school day;
40 hours in a non-school week; and
between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m., except from June 1 through Labor Day, when nighttime work hours are extended to 9 p.m.
Child labor laws vary from state from state. Please consult your state department of labor for this information.

Actually it depends on what state you live in. Usually it is public information that you can find online, or by making a simple phone call. In Michigan I believe that if you are 15 you arent allowed to work 6 consecutive days, or more than 35 hours.
They usually wont hunt you down if you go over a few hours... but if it becomes a habit with a 15 year old, or if the parents start getting upset. Then you might have a bit of a problem.

I dont know if it varies by state, but in ohio if you are attending school, you cant work past 10 o clock at night, and no more than 20 hours per week if i'm correct..i think it applies everywhere. Go to the website below it tells you more info there.

I know my friend's son worked at a local grocery, and he was allowed to work all he could during the summer, but during school year, they are not allowed to work after 10 p.m. I guess they think the kids need to sleep or something, lol.

Here is a link to federal rules regarding child labor, but bear in mind states can have their own so you need to look into that for whatever state you live in:
