Employment Of Minors Policy
The company will not hire an applicant under the age of eighteen. Due to the nature of our business, it is unlikely an applicant will be qualified for most administrative positions. In addition, minors are prohibited from engaging in the manufacturing process due to machinery operating requirements.
Drafting Considerations
The following is background commentary for whoever is drafting or reviewing this policy -- not part of the operative policy above, and not something to publish as a rule employees are bound by.
This is a Company policy choice that is more restrictive than federal law requires. The FLSA generally sets a minimum age of 16 for most non-agricultural jobs (18 only for occupations the Department of Labor has declared hazardous); it does not itself require employers to decline to hire anyone under 18.
General information, not legal advice. Treat this as a drafting starting point, not a finished policy — employment law varies by jurisdiction and changes often, so have a licensed attorney tailor it to your situation before you rely on it.
