Virgin Islands Child Labor Law Posters

September 16th, 2006 Posted by Jared

There are many child labor laws for the Virgin Islands. For the most part, these child labor laws were created by the federal government. It is necessary that the Virgin Islands Child Labor Law Posters be placed in work places across the Virgin Islands. These Virgin Islands Child Labor Law Posters need to be accessible to all employees at all times. Often you will find them displayed in areas like break rooms, work areas and around the time clock where employees punch in.

The minimum age that a minor is permitted to start working is 14 years old. There are some exceptions to this rule, which would include jobs such as babysitting or other domestic work and newspaper delivery. There are also exceptions made for those minors under the age of 14 who are working in the entertainment field.

There are a lot of jobs that minors are not permitted to hold. These jobs are considered to be hazardous to the minor’s health and include, but are not limited to, mining, quarrying, work with radioactive materials, work storing or manufacturing explosives, construction, and demolition. There are different restrictions for 14 and 15 year olds and 16 and 17 year olds. Only after the age of 18 years old has been reached can the hazardous jobs be held.

Other limitations placed on minors in the Virgin Islands because of labor laws are the amount of hours a minor may work, which hours can be worked, and how many days in a row can be worked.

I hope you have found this brief overview of the child labor laws of the Virgin Islands helpful. The Virgin Islands Child Labor Law posters have been created to give you a much more detailed view of these laws in an easy to read format.
