Most California employers are governed not only by state child labor laws but by the child labor provisions of the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). When federal and state laws both apply, the more restrictive law prevails.

FLSA sets basic minimum ages of 16 for general employment and 18 for occupations declared particularly hazardous for young workers. Persons younger than 16 are allowed to work only in limited, specified occupations which exclude baking. manufacturing, processing, construction, warehouse, and transportation occupations. (See U. S. Department of Labor (DOL) Child Labor Bulletins 101 and 102.)

California law also sets out minimum ages, as summarized below, and restricts or prohibits employment of specified age groups of minors in specified hazardous occupations. (See “California Child Labor Laws 1995-96,” a publication of the California Division of Labor Standards Enforcement.)

Information on federal labor laws is available from the DOL's Wage and Hour Division, Employment Standards Administration. Information on state child labor laws is available from the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement. Both the federal and state agencies have offices in several California cities.

1.Federal and state law generally prohibit nonfarm employment of children younger than 14. Special rules apply to agricultural and domestic work and to the entertainment industry.

2.Children generally must attend school until age 18 unless they are 16 or older and have graduated from high school or received a state Certificate of Proficiency.

Records are to be open at all times for inspection by school authorities and officers of the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement.

4.A work permit must be revoked whenever the issuing authority determines the employment is illegal or is impairing the health or education of the minor.
