The
U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) has released an updated version of the
Child Labor Rules Advisor that incorporates the changes to the
regulations, 29 CFR Part 570, that became effective on July 19, 2010.
These regulations focus on nonagricultural employment.
The interactive, online Child Labor Rules Advisor
is designed to answer questions about workers and businesses that are
subject to federal child labor rules. This Advisor provides information
at different levels of detail, depending on who is seeking the
information, (i.e., youth, parent, employer, teacher). Federal child
labor rules are established by the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).
The Child Labor Rules Advisor is one of a series of elaws
(Employment Laws Assistance for Workers and Small Businesses) Advisors
developed by the Department to help employers and employees understand
federal employment laws. To access it, visit the elaws Web site.
