Abstract
Generally, no employment is authorized for minors under the age of 14, under South Carolina Child Labor Statute, §41-13-20. Employment of any minor under age 14 is defined as oppressive child labor. Minors ages 14 and 15 may work in office, clerical and sales jobs. They also may work in a number of jobs in retail, food service and gasoline service establishments. Minors ages 16 and older are exempt from the hour and scheduling restrictions. They may work as many daily and weekly hours as the job responsibilities require or the employer requests. Minors ages 16 and 17 may not engage in any occupation deemed hazardous, as defined under the 17 Hazardous Occupations Orders of the Fair Labor Standards Act. The child labor laws do not apply to employees who are 18 or over.
