How late can a seventeen year old work in retail for?

First of all, the policies and procedures of the company must be review to answer this quesion. Then, the State and local laws must likely dictate how late are minors allowed to work in a retail store. That is, there are minors who are emmancipated and the state considered them as adults. Therefore, these minors are allowed to work regular hours at a retail store. On the other hand, The manager must be fair and realize that minors also attend school and that they need time to work on their own school assignments. Thus, it is practical that the manager sit down with the minor applying for the position in the retail industry and agree upon a schedule that meet the company standards as well as the state and federal laws and also the hours for the student to go to school. Fairly, as a reasonable accomadation, most retail industry does not allow the minor to work past 11:00 Pm.
