When can minors work a maximum of 10 1/2 hours in a day?

The correct understanding is that minors have specific regulations regarding the number of hours they can work, particularly with respect to school schedules. During non-school weeks, minors are allowed to work longer hours, but there are limitations during the school weeks to ensure that their education is not compromised.

When it comes to school weeks, minors are typically restricted on how many hours they can work in a single day to maintain their focus on school. Although there may be variations depending on local laws, the maximum of 10 1/2 hours worked by minors is often not permitted during school weeks due to these educational protections.

Understanding this helps clarify the importance of balancing work and education for minors, ensuring that while they gain work experience, their academic responsibilities are prioritized during the school periods.
