The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) prohibits minors from:

• A. Working in Hazardous Occupations
• B. Working On Weekends
• C. Working Overtime
• D. Working with Adults

Answer: (A)

The main concept is that protections for minors under the FLSA include restricting the kinds of jobs they can do to keep them safe. The best answer is that minors are prohibited from working in hazardous occupations. The law targets dangerous work—such as operating heavy machinery, exposure to certain chemicals, mining, and other high-risk tasks—so younger workers aren’t placed in those environments. The other scenarios aren’t blanket prohibitions in the FLSA: minors can work on weekends within permitted hours, overtime rules apply differently and are not a universal ban for youths, and working with adults is not prohibited as long as the job and hours comply with child labor standards.
