Wisconsin Printable Free Child Labor Law Posters 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.

State and federal  laws do not limit the hours that minors 16 years of age or over may work, except that they may not be employed 
or permitted to work during hours of required school attendance under Wis. Stat. § 118.15.   
State and federal laws also permit minors under 16 to work up to seven days per week in the delivery of newspapers and 
agriculture.  In most other types of labor, minors  under 16 may only work six days a week. 
Most employers must obtain work permits for minors  under 16 before permitting them to work.  For further information, see the 
Wisconsin Employment of Minors Guide (ERD -4758 -P).

the same hourly and time of day restrictions as minors who are 14 or 15 years of  age. 
Minors under 18  years of age may not work more than 6 consecutive hours without having a 30- minute, duty free meal period.
