Hi, Does anyone know what's the legal hour a minor can work up to. My son works at a pizza place up to ten o'clock and I think that is pretty late.
Thanks in advance! :)

According to the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), youth 16 or 17 years old may work in any non-hazardous job for unlimited hours. However, for youth 14 and 15 years old, the hours are limited to 3 hours a day on school days with the hours occurring between 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. except from June 1 through Labor Day when their permissible hours are extended to 9:00 p.m. In addition, 14 and 15 year-olds may not work more than 18 hours per week in school weeks, more than 8 hours a day on non-school days, or more than 40 hours per week when school is not in session.

Federal law does not require lunch or coffee breaks.

However, when employers do offer short breaks (usually lasting about 5 to 20 minutes), federal law considers the breaks work-time that must be paid.

Meal periods (typically lasting at least 30 minutes), serve a different purpose than coffee or snack breaks and, thus, are not work time and are not compensable; i.e. you don’t have to be paid for them.
