Seasonal Restaurant Employees: Tips for Hiring Minors

*Webinars are CLE-accredited in California, Illinois, New York, Missouri and Texas. We are also accredited providers of HRCI and SHRM.

The restaurant industry has long been a destination of choice for high school students entering the world of work. Having minors in the workplace offers great benefits for all involved, but can also be fraught with legal pitfalls. In this webinar, we will explore special factors that can increase legal risk, including potential claims for wage, hour and safety violations, negligent supervision and sexual harassment, and discuss what restaurant employers can do to manage the hazards and implement an effective risk prevention program for youth. 

Topics: 
• What does the law say about what kind of work minors can do, when and how? 
• What must restaurants do to ensure a safe work environment for young workers? 
• What training must you provide to minor employees and their managers? 
• How much supervision is required? 
• Do you – and should you – talk to parents?
