What is the cumulative limit of hours a minor can work on a non-school week?

The cumulative limit of hours a minor can work on a non-school week is 35 hours. This regulation is designed to provide minors with the opportunity to gain work experience without compromising their health and educational opportunities. In cases where school is not in session, minors are permitted to work more hours, but there are still limits in place to protect their welfare. Permitting up to 35 hours allows minors to engage in work that can teach valuable skills and provide financial benefits while ensuring that they do not exceed a reasonable amount of work for their age group.

Understanding these regulations is important for both employers and minors to ensure compliance with labor laws and to foster a positive working experience for young people.
