My Son Got Taken Advantage of at His First Job
My son got his first summer job last June and I was so proud that he wanted to earn some money for himself and be independent. My husband and I always told him that all he needed to do was to work hard and honestly and he would be a great employee. Well, this employer took complete advantage of my son and tried to get him to work hours he wasn’t suppose to due to his age. I called a Philadelphia labor law attorney after the third time that he worked hours and times that he wasn’t of age to do. We got excellent help and learned what my son’s rights were. I am so happy that I made that phone call. My son now is working for a much better boss who understands not to mess around with child labor laws.
