Legal Question in Employment Law in Michigan

Re: Child Labor

Michigan law limits persons under the age of 17 from working more than 48 hours per week, on average, when school is not in session. When school is in session, a minor is limited to 48 hours of work and school combined (in other words, if you attend school 30 hours per week, you may not work more than 18 hours per week). A person or entity employing a minor cannot permit the minor to work more than those amounts.

You should contact an attorney in your community to discuss the particular facts and circumstances which affect your rights and obligations. This response does not constitute legal advice, and no attorney/client relationship is created as a result of this response.
