| 释义 | child employee Subject to certain exceptions, such employment is prohibited in the UK, and any employment under the age of 13 years is completely prohibited. Children are prohibited from working in industrial undertakings, factories, or mines. There are narrow exceptions for work in theatres and films, sports, work experience and/or training, and light work (e.g. the delivery of newspapers), with strict conditions attached in each case. In many cases these exceptions require that prior authorization is obtained from a local authority with respect to the proposed work (see the Children and Young Persons Act 1933, as amended by the Children (Protection at Work) Regulations 1998 and (No. 2) 2000). Children falling within some of the above exceptions must not work for more than two hours on any school day (outside school hours) or for more than 12 hours a week during term times. Work must not start before 7 a.m. or after 7 p.m. These restrictions can be relaxed for working time during school holidays and for children between 13 and 15 years of age. Night work by children is prohibited between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m., and children working more than four hours daily are entitled to a one-hour break from work. Local authorities are also empowered to regulate further the employment of children under byelaws. Byelaws may differ from authority to authority. Workers aged 16 and 17 are referred to as young or adolescent workers. Their employment is restricted (see the Working Time Regulations 1998, as amended). They may work no more than 8 hours a day and no more than 40 hours a week. No young worker may work at night (10 p.m. to 6 a.m. or 11 p.m. to 7 a.m.). They are entitled to 12 consecutive hours’ rest between each working day, two days’ weekly rest, and a 30-minute rest break when working longer than 4½ hours. They are also entitled to four weeks’ paid annual leave. |
