Where can a teenager work at in Columbus Ohio?

Answer 1

It depends on the age.

If a teenager is 15, then they can only work at like Burger King, Krogers, and Subway.

But if they are 16, they can work at other fast food places.

You have to be 18 to work at a movie rental, such as Block buster or Hollywood video. These are not laws but commonly followed practices.

Also if you are 14 or 15, you don't get paid the same minimum wage as a 16 year old ($7.00 as of 1/1/2008). You will get paid $5.85,(they just raised it) it's the law so don't try to argue. You employer can pay you more if they choose to. Anyone under 18 is prohibited from working in dangerous jobs including driving, working with chemicals or almost any powered equipment.

Minors must be at least 14 years of age to obtain a work permit. Work permits can be deemed by the school superintendent. A new work permit must be issued each time the minor changes employment. During summer months when school is not in session, 16 and 17 year old minors are not required to obtain work permits, provided that the employer maintains proof of age and a signed statement from their parent or guardian consent to their proposed employment.
