well in Ohio minors have to get a work permit. The permit should specify the hours you are allowed to work.Here you get permits at the school board. However I do believe summer or non-school hours may be different. hey i found some info from cali for ya! Hours of Work

Not illegal, but not the smartest move either. Tell them you can not do that and find another job at Maccas or Burger King or somewhere that caters for younger employees...

ok Minor Labor Laws of America state that no minor shall be allowed to work after certina hours on school weeks, and no more then certain hours durning the week. Yes it is illeagel, but it is one of those laws that is kinda looked away from. I know that because i did the exact same thing, unless u have a real strict restaraunt ur fine, and its not you who will get into trouble, but the establishment would be held responsible

You would have to check with your local employment board.
But may I suggest that instead of finding out if it is illegal, why not just communicate with the employer if you do not want to work those hours and if they are required, then find a different job that fits your schedule better.

You would have to check your state's laws. There are no federal guidelines for hours or time limits or age of employees. Some states impose laws to protect minors however. In Nebraska, 15 and under can't work after 8:30, 16-18 can't work past 10:30. Check out California's laws for sure.

A:
Yes and no. What you will need to do is have your manager sign a note saying that you were working on X date until X time and that you ARE returning from work, and have him sign his name, the name of the store and a number he can be contacted at.
This information will need to be provided if you are pulled over when you are driving home.
If you are driving willy nilly without a note from work OR a good reason, you can be fined by a cop.

curfew for minors in my state is midnight. there are minor rules, well laws, that they should comply to. BUT there are laws that usually say you can drive during "this time period" to or from a work/school/church function (again, those are the laws in my state). Ask your parents to help you out to see what the laws are in california with minors and curfew.

I was a pizza delivery manager in CO. We couldn't let minors work past 10PM on a school night. You would have to check with your local authorities to be sure, but based on the responses I have seen so far, ten PM seems to be pretty standard.

Each state has different regulations for minor labor laws. For instance in my state, a person under 18 can only work until a certain hour of the night, unless their parent signs a waiver.
I'd contact the state labor board to find out the minor labor laws for your area. It sounds to me that they are not complying with those laws. Hopefully its simply that they don't understand the laws. If they do understand and are not complying then they are in big trouble!!
