Teenage Jobcaser? Know the laws to protect yourself!

Would love to hear from Jobcasers across the country if they feel their employers are not following the rules?

One restaurant chain just paid out more than $2M for child labor violations in MA because 16 and 17 year olds were working past midnight or more than 48 hours in a week. The violations were caused in part by supervisors and young employees not being aware of the law. Below is a great site to check out for your local laws - https://www.youthrules.gov/law-library/state-laws/index.htm

Anyone have a story to share? Love to understand how frequently this happens?

Wow! That's quite the fine. I'm all for young people getting work experience, but it is hard to imagine how high schoolers could be performing well in school while working 48+ hours a week and being kept up past midnight.
