I'm only 15, but I'm looking for a job, and I'm sure a lot of people know, a lot of people only hire kids 16+. Well my older sister, a lot of other people have been telling me, that if I have working papers then I can still apply and possibly get hired at these places (I'm turning 16 in November if that helps) is this true? I have working papers already, btw.
"An employment certificate, often referred to as "working papers", is required for minors under 18 before they may begin work. High school graduates, minors who work for their parents, and minors who do industrial homework are included in this group."
"MINIMUM AGE FOR EMPLOYMENT
There are certain exceptions to these rules and they are subject to the employment certification regulations that follow:
Minors not yet 14 may not be employed at any time, neither after school nor during vacation
Minors 14 and 15 years old may work after school hours and during vacations, but not in factory work. They may do delivery and clerical work in any enclosed office of a factory, and in dry cleaning, tailor, shoe repair, and similar service stores.
Minors 16 and 17 years of age, if not attending school, may work full time throughout the year. Factory work is permitted for minors 16 years of age or older. (See State Prohibited Occupations and Federal Prohibited Occupations"
