Child Labor laws

Minors working in Nevada are just as protected working here as they would be working in their home state. Child labor laws vary from state to state and have varying levels of protection in comparison to Federal Child Labor Laws. The more protective law is the one that is upheld whether Federal or State. Minors working in the motion picture and television industry are exempt from many Nevada restrictions; however it is up to the employer to be informed and diligent about following all child labor laws. For more specific information on Federal Child Labor Laws and the entertainment industry, please consult the U.S. Department of Labor website at: http://www.dol.gov/dol/topic/youthlabor/
entertainmentemployment.htm#lawregor

Legal advice should be obtained from an attorney since the Nevada Film Office is not a regulatory agency.
For specific guidelines about employing minors in Nevada, contact:
