    There are two things to consider. The first is the State Law and the second is if the minor is a High School Student.

    Many 18 year olds are finished with high school and they can work as many hours as they want to.

    Under the state law, students are restricted in how many hours they can work. When you get a job, the employer is required to see your work permit before you can start work. A work permit is issued by the school.

    The school can decide if they think you should have a work permit or not. If your grades are not good, they may decide that your time is better spent on studying and not give you a work permit. Also, if your grades become bad, they can take your work permit away.

    The work permit will say the name of the company you are allowed to work for and how many hours and when you are allowed to work. If you apply for a new work permit at a new company, the school will notify the first company that your work permit is no longer valid and they are not allowed to employ you.

    The law is governed by the state so the employer takes a big risk to employ someone without a work permit or to break the limitations of the work permit.
