The minimum age for working in PA is 14. There are exceptions to this and a child can work at a younger age in certain curcumstances, but factory work is nit one of them. That having been said, although 14 and 15 year olds may work, they may only do so with certain restrictions. They may not work before 7 a.m. or after 7 p.m., unless the are on vacation in which case they may work until 9 pm. Also, they are prohibited from working more than 3 hours on a school day or more than 8 hours on non-school days. Minors 16 and up may not work before 6 a.m. or after midnight during school weeks and they may also not work for more than 8 hours per day or more than 28 hours per week during school weeks.
