Hi everyone, I have a fourteen old son who would love a summer holiday job as he has three months off from school soon.
Is there a minimum age requirement for student summer jobs? I assume students have a limit on how many hours they can work also but I'm not certain what that is. If anyone can advise me please do take the time to reply.
Thanks.
Cat.
