This post is going to be about different requirements for working teens in Minnesota. There are 3 different groups that apply to minimum wage. The first group is for a large employer, and that is $6.15 per hour. For a small employer the minimum wage is $5.25 per hour, and the training wage is $4.90.

Teenagers under age 16, can't work before 7 a.m. or after 9 p.m. They are not allowed to work more than 18 hours per week during the school year or 40 hours per week, which means no more than 8 hours per day. For ages 16 and 17, they may not work earlier than 5 a.m. or later than 11 p.m. on school days.
