Employment of Children

A person who is not yet of compulsory school age

or under the age of 18 is referred to as a "child."
Employment” refers to a job that is carried for a
cost. A person who is under the age of 18 cannot

work. A child is considered to be employed if hired
to do work, regardless of whether or not the
youngster is paid or receives any other type of
incentive.

The age at which a child can work, and the type of
job that a youngster can perform are determined
by a variety of factors:

1. Whether the work is part-time, casual, or
seasonal work, whether it is in addition to full-
time school or an alternative to full-time school.
2. The type of work (refer to Act 350)

3. Certain conditions (e.g. parental supervision or
approval) (refer to Act 350)
4. The hours of work. (refer to Act 350)
