New laws for young workers come into force today

New government regulations strengthening protections for children in part-time work have come into force today, Wednesday, April 1.

The updated rules set limits on working hours, with a minimum employment age of 13 and a weekly cap of 28 hours.

Children are restricted from hazardous roles including high-risk kitchen environments, or selling door to door. 

The government says new laws also means youngsters can't work before 7am, and are entitled to fixed breaktimes.
