What to Know about Employing Minors

15

Hiring young workers can be a great way to infuse your dealership with energy and get a new generation interested in working in auto retailing. However, when employing minors, dealers are advised to follow federal and state Department of Labor guidelines. 1. Individuals under the age of 14 cannot work at a deal- ership, and those under 18 must have working papers. 2. Minors cannot perform certain tasks at a dealership, such as handling hazardous materials, operating certain power-driven machinery (like a hoisting apparatus), or act as a helper on a motor vehicle. These prohibitions do not apply to minors enrolled in an apprentice program regis- tered with the DOL, such as the GNYADA-sponsored school-to-work Automotive Youth Educational Systems program. 3. Employers must make a schedule for all minors, set- ting forth the hours each minor starts and ends work and the time allotted for meals. This schedule, and any changes made to it, must be posted conspicuously in the workplace.

When school is not in session, the following rules apply:

4. Minors are also subject to driving restrictions: 16-year-old licensed drivers may drive dealer vehicles on dealership property only. 17-year-old licensed drivers, who have completed a drivers’ education course and have no record of mov- ing violations, may drive on public roads within a 30- mile radius of the dealership, during daylight hours, in vehicles that weigh no more than 60,000 lbs GVW. They are limited to two trips per day when transporting non-employee passengers and may not transport more than three passengers (including employees) at a time.
