[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I still have an old dish washing injury I never recovered from. [/quote]
I suffered a chemical burn from a similar job, when my employer refilled the dish liquid with the wrong solution. I had to have a skin graft. Of course, I was covered under the employers insurance.

I too would be curious who would cover this child’s injuries if something happened. Homeowner’s insurance? But who is paying for the ER visit? How are you getting compensated? My parents didn’t pay for anything, and didn’t have to recoup a dime. Applebee’s paid for everything.

I mean, this is the risk you take when you have a job like this, and I know it’s typical and injury is rare, but not impossible. [/quote]

Applebees is not hiring 14 year olds.

And the neighbor is unlikely to have her 14 year old doing anything dangerous in the kitchen.  She's looking for someone to do the manual labor jobs in the kitchen.  Most likely she'll be doing the dishes, the cleaning, and maybe some prep work like measuring out ingredients for the neighbor to cook with.  She may get assigned to run and do a load of laundry for towels and such.

And like another PP pointed out, unlike a professional restaurant, the home business baker is not likely to be using caustic industrial cleaning agents that are going to be dangerous.  If there is an accident, then OP's insurance will handle it and they can ask the neighbor business owner to cover any expenses not covered by insurance.  As the employer, that is appropriate.  If the neighbor doesn't want to pay, then OP will have to decide if it is worthwhile to pursue in small claims court, but any small claims court would like make the employer pay for expenses caused by work that was not covered by some form or workman's comp.[/quote]
