Indiana law no longer limits the daily or weekly working hours of individuals between 16 and 18 years old who are employed in nonhazardous occupations.

• Hours: 16- and 17-year-olds can work the same hours and days as adults, without parental permission.
• Overtime: Employees who work more than 8 hours a day, or 40 hours per week, are entitled to overtime.

The new law eliminates Indiana’s previous work hour restrictions, including:

• The nine-hour daily limit
• The 40-hour weekly limit during school
• The 48-hour weekly limit outside of school
• The six-day maximum work week
• The prohibition on working before 6 AM
• The requirement to pair teens working overnight with an adult

Work hour limits remain in place for 14- and 15-year-olds. Though teens working at family-owned businesses or no longer attending school are exempt in some circumstances.
