Just a reminder. now that school is out about the new youth employment laws in Michigan.
Work‑hour limits for minors ages 14 and 15 changed March 31, 2026. These limits align more closely with federal standards. During school sessions from Labor Day to May 31st minors in this age group may work between 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m., for no more than three hours per day and 18 hours per week.
During summer, from June 1st through Labor Day, work may extend until 9:00 p.m., with a maximum of 40 hours per week. Different and generally broader limits apply to 16‑ and 17‑year‑olds, though restrictions on hazardous work and late‑night hours remain in place.
