Bill 19: Teenage workers impacted by end of month

One of the final impacts of Bill 19, the law on the working age of young people in Quebec, will come into effect soon.

The law will limit 14-to-16-year-olds to work only 17 hours a week during the school year starting September 1st, 2023.

Possible jobs to be excluded from the bill include creator or performer, newspaper delivery, babysitter, tutor; working in a family business with fewer than 10 employees if the child is a child of the employer, roles within non-profit organizations or non-profit sports organizations, and light manual labour jobs on farms with fewer than 10 employees.
