Rules on children and teens working in the UK

Alotof modern kids want to have a couple of extra tenners a week and there’s much they can do to earn their own money – babysitting, dog walking, delivering flyers, etc. But before a teenager starts looking for a job, here are a few ‘need to know’ points.

Children can only do paid work from the age of 13. Even after their 13th birthday they must not work in an environment that can be dangerous for their health.

In term time, children under 16 must not work for more than two hours on Sundays and more than 12 hours a week. They must not work before 7:00 am or after 7:00 pm, or during school hours.

In the holidays, things get more relaxed. 13- and 14-year-olds can work a maximum of 25 hours weekly. They cannot work more than 5 hours on weekdays or Saturdays or more than 2 hours on Sundays.
