Q: Are there restrictions on hiring minors in Nebraska? What hours are
minors allowed to work?
A: Minors must be at least 14 years of age to be
employed in the State of Nebraska. Some exceptions to this law include minors
working for their parent’s own business and minors working in agriculture.
Minors under 16 years of age must obtain an Employment Certificate from the
school district in which they reside. Under state law, minors 14 and 15 years
of age are not permitted to work more than 8 hours a day, 48 hours per week,
before the hour of 6:00 AM or after the hour of 10:00 PM. Federal law is more
restrictive for minors under the age of 16. State and Federal labor laws
sometimes differ, as is the case with child labor laws. When both laws apply,
the more stringent standard must be observed.
Note, this is Nebraska law. Other state laws may vary.
