“The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) sets wage, hours worked, and safety requirements for minors (individuals under age 18) working in jobs covered by the statute. The rules vary depending upon the particular age of the minor and the particular job involved. As a general rule, the FLSA sets 14 years of age as the minimum age for employment, and limits the number of hours worked by minors under the age of 16.

There are many restrictions, and it varies by state. In addition to the stantards set by law, many insurance companies also set restrictions on the age of employee they will and will not cover.

I live in Pennsylvania and started working at a movie theater at 15. I turned 16 within a couple weeks though, which they were anticipating.

I helped with hiring at a theater for a bit. 16+ is what we did.

you need parental permission, then you are good to go with it
