At what age can a child commence full-time employment?
At what age can a child commence full-time employment?
A young person can begin full-time employment as soon as they are no longer of compulsory school age. Compulsory school age ends on the last Friday in June of the school year in which the young person reaches the age of 16. It is therefore possible for a young person to be 15 and no longer of compulsory school age if their 16th birthday is in either July or August.
