This post you are reading now is a post from my 21st Century Skills class at school. It is about child labor and minimum wage for teenagers with jobs. The hours a teenager under 16 can work during the school year is no more than 3 hours per work day, no more than 18 per week, and they are not allowed to work after 7:00pm. During the summer time they can't work more than 40 hours per week, and no more than 8 hours per day. They cannot work earlier than 7:00am and no later than 9:00pm. The only rules for teenagers ages 16-17 cannot work earlier than 5:00am on school days and can't work any later than 11:00pm.
In Minnesota there are 3 different minimum wages depending on the size of your business. The minimum wage for a large employer it is $6.15 per hour. A small employer is $5.25 per hour, and the training wage is $4.90 per hour. These are all state minimum wages. There is also federal minimum wages. The workers can earn this amount plus any other money they earn like a tip.
