Welcome!
Every year, millions of teens work in part-time or summer jobs. Early work experiences can be rewarding for young workers - providing great opportunities to learn important job skills.

May 20, 2010

The Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division published a Final Rule designed to protect working children from hazards in the workplace while also recognizing the value of safe work to children and their families. The Final Rule contains the most ambitious and far-reaching revisions to the child labor regulations in the last thirty years and marks another step forward in the Department’s ongoing effort to promote positive, safe work experiences for young workers. The provisions of the Final Rule will become effective on July 19, 2010. View a fact sheet on the current rule, hazardous occupations side-by-side comparison of new final rule and current rule, and Reg. 3 side-by-side comparison of new rule and current rule.
