Children below the legal age of employment can work alongside family members only if it does not interfere with schooling and which do not harm their health, safety or morals.
The workplace should implement a child labor remediation policy to ensure the child’s best interests and that they do not end up in a worse form of employment.
All of the above.
Identify if TRUE or FALSE: Part of the remediation policy is discharging the underage workers and their family members from the workplace.
Our guidance says, “When the law allows, move underage workers to proper apprenticeship positions, with protective restrictions in place, instead of discharging or firing these workers.” Their family members should also not be discharged.
