After-hours Supervision Policies
Do you need to have a supervisor present when associates are working after hours or on the weekends? There is no law that requires that all work be supervised.

Their demand for wages is often lower because they are not supporting families of their own yet and their availability is very flexible because they are not in school. It is important that your business follow all legal requirements related to the hiring of young people in order to ensure that the company remains in compliance and is not subjected to penalties or fines.
