How old do you have to be to get a job?

Resolved Question

How old do you have to be to get a job?

I want too start working a soon as possibble even though I am only 12. I live in Wales so what age can you start working at a Restaurant like washing up and stuff and how much would I get paid roughly per hour.

I want to save up for a new phone (BlackBerry Curve 8520) but I only have £70 I need roughly about another £100 and the only way of earning money that I could think of was working. So please help me :) Thanks heaps!

Mostly employers like you to be 16 as you are not covered by insurance before than. If your family has a business, however, you can be employed there.

You might be a bit young for babysitting until you are 13, but it is one possibility. One person I know of does dog walking for neighbours, and gets paid £5 a week. Or you could offer a car wash, say £5 a time. Sometimes there isn't work available for an employer, and you have to make your own opportunities. If you know someone who has a stall at a car boot sale, you might be allowed to sell any toys or games you no longer want to keep.

  • Have the ability first, do some bodybuilding so that you will not die when you do work.
  • Too late for you. I've seen babies get paid just to pee on diapers.
