Get Ready to Work the Right Way

Thinking about a holiday job? In this free on-demand workshop from the Delaware Department of Labor, teen host KJ follows six young workers through real on-the-job situations. You’ll see how Delaware’s child labor laws protect you. The video opens with a welcome from U.S. Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester.

What you’ll learn

Work permits. Who needs one, what to bring, and why each new job needs its own.
Work hours. Time limits and required breaks by age, even during the holiday rush.
Off-limits tasks. Jobs and equipment teens can’t use, even when a supervisor asks.
Tips and pay. Why tips can never leave you below the wage you’re owed.
Red flags. How to spot a scam job ad before you share your information.

Who it’s for: Teens ages 14 to 17, plus the parents, educators and employers who support them.
