Light work permission Daisy's blog
All in a day's work
Hi everyone. My sister wants to get a part-time job to save some money, but she has to
wait until next year. In the UK the law says that teens can have a part-time job when
they're 13. Then, we can work for two hours a day on school days, five hours on
Saturdays and two on Sundays. We can also work more hours during the school
holidays. What about you? Tell me when you can start work in your country.

Hello Daisy! My name is Marat and I'm from Kazakhstan. Here, we have to be 14 before
we can have a part-time job. At that age, we can only work for five hours a day and do
light work. We also have to get permission from our parents before we can start a job.
