OCTOBER 2003 QUESTION OF THE MONTH

Q. Is there an employment of minors poster that employers must display in the workplace?

A.There is no specific employment of minors poster but there is a posting responsibility.

If an employer employs minors, the employer must make a schedule for all minors and post it in a conspicuous place. This schedule must show the hours that the minors start and end work and the time allotted for meals. The hours of work can be changed, as long as the changes are posted on the schedule. Minors may work only on the days and at the times posted on the schedule. If minors are present at other times or if no schedule is posted, it is a violation of the child labor law.
