The maximum number of hours a 14- or 15-year-old may work on a school day is indeed 3 hours. This limit is set by federal child labor laws to ensure that young workers do not compromise their education and well-being by exceeding a reasonable amount of work during school days. This regulation recognizes the importance of balancing work and school responsibilities, as well as promoting a healthy work-life balance for minors. While there may be different limits for weekends or during non-school days, the restriction on work hours during school days reflects a commitment to protecting the educational opportunities of young individuals.
