Child labor law compliance is a scheduling feature that helps you follow federal, state, and provincial laws limiting when and how long minors (workers under 18) can work. When you enable this feature, Homebase automatically flags scheduling conflicts that would violate these rules, helping you avoid penalties and keep your business compliant. Note: This feature is available for locations on Plus plans and higher. How do I enable child labor law compliance? To enable child labor law compliance: Go to Settings.Click Schedule Enforcement under Scheduling.Toggle on child labor law compliance.Click Save to finish. Once enabled, Homebase checks your schedules against the applicable rules for your jurisdiction. The system considers each team member's age, whether school is in session, and the specific restrictions that apply to their situation. If you create a schedule that would violate a child labor law, Homebase alerts you before you publish it. This gives you the opportunity to adjust shifts so your minor employees work within legal limits. What rules does Homebase enforce? The rules vary by jurisdiction, age group, and whether school is in session. The tables below show the specific limits Homebase enforces for each state, territory, and province. Note: When state and federal laws differ, Homebase applies the more protective rule. Child labor laws change periodically, and Homebase updates these rules as regulations change. Verify current requirements with your state or provincial labor department if you have questions about a specific situation. United States (Federal) Federal Standard Note: Federal rules apply when a state is silent or has less restrictive laws.
