Judge Tom

Dear Kaitlyn: It’s very unlikely that would be illegal, but you would have to check the employment laws in your state to be certain. Labor laws typically set certain hours for minors as well as work conditions, but don’t necessarily get into a minor’s attendance record at school. Click here on the Indiana government site to find out more about the labor laws for minors in your state. Good luck. (Check our Resource Directory for more help and resources in your area.
