What is the maximum hours a 16 year old can work in Washington State?
I thought it was 20. Then I heard at school that you can work 30 if you have a B average in school. I did some reading on the internet and couldn't find anything about it. So what is the max?

Answer 1 :
According to the law, "For 16- and 17-year-old workers only, six-hour shifts and up to 28 hours per week are available through a special variance from the school district." "With a special variance, a 16- or 17-year-old teen can work up to 6 hours in a day, with a maximum of 28 hours during a school week in non-agricultural jobs if the school, business, parents, and teens agree that the extra work hours would not be detrimental to the teen's well-being, school attendance or academic performance. The special variance does not require approval from Labor and Industries. A special variance must include signatures of approval from the parent, teen, business, and the school. The special variance is included on page 2 of the regular Parent/School Authorization form.
