a minor who works for pay and is of obligatory school age, that is, under 16 years old.
In the UK, these kinds of jobs are illegal, with a few exceptions, and hiring anyone younger than 13 is outright forbidden. It is against the law for children to work in mines, factories, or other industrial settings. Work at movie theaters and film productions, athletics, work experience and/or training, and light labor (such as newspaper delivery) are among the few exceptions, each with specific restrictions. These exceptions frequently necessitate obtaining prior permission from a local authority for the intended action (see the Children and Young
The Children (Protection at Work) Regulations 1998 and (No. 2) 2000 made amendments to the Persons Act 1933.
Children who fall under any of the aforementioned exclusions are not permitted to work more than two hours on a school day (after school hours) or more than twelve hours per week (during term). No work may begin earlier than 7 a.m. or later than 7 p.m. For youngsters ages 13 to 15, as well as for working hours during school breaks, these limitations may be loosened. Children are not allowed to work at night between the hours of 8 p.m. and 6 a.m., and those who work more than four hours a day are entitled to a one-hour break.

They are only allowed to work eight hours a day and forty hours a week.
