DOL Update: Child Labor Regulations

The DOL has issued new regulations concerning child labor under the FLSA. The regulations are focused on the limitations as to both duties and work hours applicable to 14-15 and 16-17 year olds. The limitations are directed to those in the "non-agricultural" occupations. The regulations address in detail the types of machinery that minors are permitted to operate, as well as barred from operating, as part of their employment.

For additional department please view the DOL website.
