Legal Question in Employment Law in New Jersey

Is there a minimum wage for 14 year old summer interns?

I am planning to hire a 14 year old student as a summer intern for 2 months in July and August.

I understand there is a minimum wage for adults - however, I am not certain whether there is one for workers less than 18 years.

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

In New Jersey, minors under the age of 18 are exempt from the minimum wage laws, with certain exceptions. Feel free to call my office if you would like to discuss this further.
