Your employer just needs proof of your age on file, such as a birth certificate or another form of identification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q: Can a 14- or 15-year-old work any shift if their parents approve?<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong><strong>A: <\/strong>No. Parents cannot override federal work-hour restrictions. For example, 14- and 15-year-olds cannot work:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>During school hours<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>More than three hours on a school day<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>More than 18 hours in a school week<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Before 7 a.m. or after 7 p.m. (9 p.m. from June 1 to Labor Day)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q: Are the rules different for small businesses?<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong><strong>A: <\/strong>Almost all Wyoming employers must follow federal child labor laws. Only very small businesses that meet strict criteria (fewer than two employees, under $500,000 in annual sales, operating entirely within Wyoming) may follow state-only rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q: Can minors operate basic equipment like slicers or mixers?<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong><strong>A:<\/strong> Many common machines are off-limits for minors, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Meat slicers and grinders<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Food processors and mixers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Forklifts and hoisting equipment<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Power-driven machinery like saws and metal-forming machines<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q: Can a minor drive for work if they have a driver\u2019s license?<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong><strong>A:<\/strong> No. Minors may not drive motor vehicles for work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q: Can teens work unlimited hours during the summer?<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong><strong>A: <\/strong>No. Some limits change in the summer (for example, evening hours extend to 9 p.m. for 14\u201315-year-olds), but hour restrictions still apply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q: Do minors get paid a different minimum wage?<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong><strong>A: <\/strong>No. Minors must be paid at least the applicable minimum wage. Overtime rules also apply when working more than 40 hours in a week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q: If the job seems safe, can a minor do it?<\/strong><br><strong>A: <\/strong>No. Federal law specifically lists hazardous jobs that minors cannot perform, even with training or supervision. These include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Roofing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mining<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Excavation or demolition<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Logging<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Working with explosives<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q: What about Student Learner Agreements?<\/strong><br><strong>A: <\/strong>Student Learner Agreements (SLAs) allow eligible students to participate in approved training opportunities in certain extra-hazardous occupations while covered under Wyoming Workers\u2019 Compensation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Eligibility Requirements:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Students must be 16\u201318 years old<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Students must maintain required academic and attendance standards<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Employers must remain in good standing with Workers\u2019 Compensation, Unemployment Insurance, and the Secretary of State<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Job duties must fall within the allowable Hazardous Occupation (HO) exceptions under Child Labor Bulletin 101 and the Fair Labor Standards Act<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information, including the extra-hazardous occupations allowed and the application process, please contact <a href=\"mailto:BusinessRisk@wyo.gov\">BusinessRisk@wyo.gov<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q: Can minors work in family businesses?<\/strong><br><strong>A: <\/strong>Some exemptions exist, particularly in agriculture and non-hazardous work for parents\u2019 businesses. However, minors still cannot perform hazardous jobs.<strong>Q: What happens if youth employment laws are accidentally violated?<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong><strong>A: <\/strong>Violations can result in significant federal fines.

The <strong>Labor Standards Division <\/strong>is your go-to teammate, offering free services to help you understand your rights, investigating if you aren&#8217;t being paid correctly, and handling complaints if you feel you\u2019ve been treated unfairly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is the breakdown of what you need to know:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Money Matters:<\/strong> While the state minimum wage is $5.15 per hour, most Wyoming employers must pay the federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour. If you work more than 40 hours in a week (when allowed), you must be paid &#8220;time and one-half&#8221; for those extra hours.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Balancing School and Work:<\/strong> If you are <strong>14 or 15<\/strong>, school comes first. You generally cannot work more than three hours on a school day or more than 18 hours during a school week. Your shifts usually have to stay between 7:00 AM and 7:00 PM, though these hours stay open later (until 9:00 PM) during the summer.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Safety First:<\/strong> Your health is a priority. Federal and state laws ban you from doing dangerous tasks, like using power-driven meat slicers, forklifts, or heavy construction equipment.
