Teenage Working Hours

From the age of 14 you can work up to two hours on a schoolday (between 07:00 and 08:00 or between 17:00 and 19:00). You can also work for up two two hours on Sundays, between 07:00 and 19:00. On Saturdays you can work up to five hours, also between 07:00 and 19:00.

During school holidays you can work up to five hours a day, Monday to Saturday, but still no more than two hours on a Sunday.

From 15 you can work up to eight hours on Saturdays (still between 07:00 and 19:00). Otherwise the rules are the same as for 14–year–olds, until you've legally left school.
