Rob Wilson, President of Employco USA, was recently interviewed for an HR Dive article titled “What should HR know about recent child labor law rollbacks?”
Snippet from the article:
While state child labor rollbacks may revise regulations around work hours and age requirements that could make it easier to employ younger workers, the laws typically do not spell out specific additional training requirements for these workers, said Wilson.
Employers that decide to employ minor workers should take a close look at safety and training requirements for the jobs in which those employees will work, he continued; “The biggest exposure that we see is the safety and training,” Wilson said, adding that minors “should definitely receive the minimum level of training that an adult would receive, if not more.”
