The Massachusetts Child Labor Laws Poster informs workers under 18 how many hours and how early or late they may work. The poster also includes a list of prohibited jobs for minors. Some jobs are prohibited for all workers under 18, while others are prohibited only for workers under 16.
The Massachusetts Child Labor Laws:
- prohibit minors younger than 14 from working (with few exceptions);
- limit the number the hours minors can work;
- limit the kinds of jobs that minors can do;
- contain supervision requirements; and
- require employers to have Youth Employment Permits on file for all workers under 18.
Every employer employing minors in any establishment must display this poster in a conspicuous place where minors are employed or permitted to work. (MGL Ch. 149, Sec. 74)
