[quote=Anonymous]Our DC started this just past Summer, at age 14, working for Chick-fil-a in the RVA. Like a PP, there are fairly strict rules and the employer has to jump through some state hoops as well but it’s been worth it for our child and the business. They even work with some wonky, intense (seasonal) after-school activities (like sports). This particular franchisee has a long, successful, and highly reputable track record of hiring 14 & 15 year olds. The slots are hard to come by because, once hired, the kids rarely leave (before heading off to college).

Tips: ask other parents/kids (like you’re doing), know the “state” rules (and potentially be able to help a prospective employer negotiate the state website), ask in person, be ready for rejections and remember who said “please, please come back when you’re 16” - I know that’s not what your child wants to hear [i]now[/i] but there may be forces beyond their control (corporate, insurance, or legal concerns). And think small(er) businesses, they generally have more flexibility than national companies with lots of layers of rules.

Publix will also hire at 14 with progressively more responsibility as they age-up. [/quote]
