Employers are responsible for ensuring:
- A school-aged child is not permitted to work unless the parent’s consent form has been signed and returned;
- A school-aged child must not be subjected to deliberate or unnecessary social isolation or any other behaviour likely to intimidate, threaten, frighten or humiliate the child. The employer must take reasonable steps to prevent this;
- Unless an industrial instrument provides other wise a school-aged or young child must not work more than one shift in one day and must be given at least an hour break after the end of the fourth hour of work;
- Keep specific records about child employee’s including the relevant parent’s consent forms.
