Connecticut Rules for Employing Minors

Employers in Connecticut must conform with these state rules relating to the employment of minors.

An employer employing a minor under the age of 18 in Connecticut must obtain a certificate from the state board of education stating the age of the minor. The certificate must be kept on file at the place of employment and must be available at all times during business hours to the inspectors of the labor department.

Connecticut permits minors 14 years of age and older to be employed as caddies or in a pro shop at any municipal or private golf course. Employers are required to obtain a certificate stating that the minor is 14 years of age or older.
