Is it legal to work at a friends restaurant at age 13?

I am 13 and a friend owns a restaurant. I would like to work there to earn money for a car. Does anyone know if it is possible to work there yet or not?

Why not wait until you are 15 then you can get a real job that you may even be able to get work experience credit through your school.. Do it the right way and be protected as well...working for friends and family is not always a good idea, both parties tend to take advantage of the friend or family thing.

Yes you can work there. Since it's your friends restaurant if they offer you a job you can take it.

In most states, 13 is below the legal working age.


Melanie
Yeah it is legal, since it's your friends' restaurant.

If you did work there then it would have to be off the books since the legal age is 14 or 15 (with many restrictions). You can take the job but the gov finds out then they could fine your friend alot of money. Here is a link that may be able to explain in better detail.
