How does the Fair Labor Standards Act protect workers who are 16 to 17 years old? A. By limiting their pay to a lower minimum wage
B. By limiting their hours and types of work
C. By keeping them out of hazardous jobs
D. By limiting their hours on school days
The correct answer is B. By limiting their hours and types of work.
The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) provides specific protections for workers aged 16 to 17 by restricting the number of hours they can work and the types of work they can perform. This ensures they are not overworked and are placed in safe working environments, balancing their employment with their education. For example, while they can work longer hours than younger teens, there are still regulations in place to protect their health and well-being.
