Description[?]:
| (I made this awhile back when I was first here, I'm deciding to repropose it, so, excuse if some parts of it sound outdated, I'm lazy) "Well apparently there are some unclear parts to the law that says "Children may work, but with additional regulations that adults have" So we here at the U.D.J are proposing a resolution to clear things up. Article 1 Employment age: 1) The minimum age one must be to seek work is dependant on the job type ~Service job's:minimum age 16 ~factory working is illegal for non-adults ~Children will not be allowed to work in stores that sell weaponry *this means acutal weapons, not things that could be considered one, such as a kitchen knife Article 2 Amount of hours permitted to work per day and the time of the day they can work up to: 1) During nights where the next day the child shall have to go to school can reach up to the maximum time of six hours, and no child shall be allowed to work past 9:00 P.M. 2) During weekends, the child may work for a maxium of 10 hours(debateable). There is no specific time they cannot work past, but must be home by the curfew time for minors made by the local governments. 3) A child is not permitted to work for more than 20 hours per week. Article 3 Wages: 1) The amount paid will be up to the employer, but must be at least the national minimum wage Article 4 Legality and Enforcment 1) This bill, if it passes, will need re-proposing in 15 years 2) If any of these laws are broken, the child may tell a parent/guardian, and the parent/guardian will submit a complaint to be reviewed by the Ministry of Justice 3)If this bill passes, it shall override the current child labor laws in place -Minister of Justice, Jacob Kotowski, U.D.J |
