  • Identity Verification: Government ID and address confirmation required
  • Background Checks: Criminal background screening for all job posters
  • Job Review: Every posting reviewed for safety and appropriateness
  • Ratings & Reviews: Community feedback helps maintain quality

Full Legal Compliance

All opportunities on TeenWorkHub comply with federal and local child-labor laws, including work hour restrictions, prohibited occupations, and age requirements.

Work Hour Limits

Automatic enforcement of age-based work hour restrictions during school days and summer. System prevents scheduling violations.

Work Permits

We guide families through work permit requirements based on their state. Documentation is tracked and verified before work begins.

Parental Approval Required

No teen account can be activated, and no jobs can be accessed without explicit parent or guardian approval. This ensures parents are always informed and in control of their teen's work experience from day one.
