sec.11 School-aged children must not work during school hours

An employer must not require or permit a school-aged child to perform work when the school-aged child is required to attend school— as stated in the parent’s consent form; or if the school-aged child does not have a parent’s consent form and is authorised to work under a special circumstances certificate when the school-aged child is not required to attend school—as stated in the special circumstances certificate. Maximum penalty—100 penalty units. This provision is an executive liability provision—see section 33 . A parent of a school-aged child who is performing work must, within 14 days after becoming aware of a change in the hours when the school-aged child is required to attend school, if the parent consents to the school-aged child continuing in the employment— complete a parent’s consent form; and give the parent’s consent form to the school-aged child’s employer. A failure to comply with subsection (2) is not an offence against this Act. However, the Education (General Provisions) Act 2006 , section 230 , creates offences for parents, as defined under that Act, who permit a school-aged child to be employed when the child is required to attend school. Subsections (1) and (2) do not apply if the employer is a parent of the school-aged child. It is enough for subsection (2) if 1 parent of the school-aged child who consents to the school-aged child continuing in the employment completes a parent’s consent form and gives it to the school-aged child’s employer. s 11 amd 2006 No. 39 s 512 (1) sch 1 ; 2013 No. 51 s 229 sch 1 (sec.11-ssec.1) An employer must not require or permit a school-aged child to perform work when the school-aged child is required to attend school— as stated in the parent’s consent form; or if the school-aged child does not have a parent’s consent form and is authorised to work under a special circumstances certificate when the school-aged child is not required to attend school—as stated in the special circumstances certificate.
