Hours and Days of Work Minors May Work in Wisconsin Poster
The Hours and Days of Work Minors May Work in Wisconsin is a Wisconsin child labor law poster provided for businesses by the Wisconsin Department Of Workforce Development. This notification is required for some employers, such as employers of minors.
This poster discusses the rules and regulations regarding employment of minors in the State of Wisconsin; specifically, it delineates the hours and times of day during which they may work.
The poster goes on to state that minors, regardless of work, may not work during school hours. This restriction stands the only one applied to minors aged 16 or 17. For those aged 14 or 15, there are more restrictions on when they can work and the types of industry in which they can work.
The poster further notes that the minimum wage for minors is $7.25 per hour, save during the first 90 days of employment, wherein employers can pay an ?opportunity wage? of $5.90 per hour.
The poster closes by encouraging anyone in need of further information about Wisconsin's child labor laws to contact the Equal Rights Division of the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development.
