What is the approved working hours allowed for child actors?
Child actors who are 2-6 years old can be on set for 6 hours a day, but they can only work for 3 hours. For actors ages 6 through 9, they can be on set for 8 hours, but work for only 4 hours. Actors ages 9 through 16 can be on set for 9 hours, but they can only work for 5 hours if it’s school time. During the holidays, they can work up to 7 hours a day. 17-year-olds can be on set for 10 hours and work 6 hours a day. During the holidays, they can work up to 8 hours a day.
Lots of kids are allowed to work. Like in some states, a 14 year old can get a drivers license for a tractor as long as it is being driven between farms. They usually have a tutor on set to teach them. They basically go to home school. Child actors are only allowed to work between the hours of 5:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. on school days. On days when school is out, the hours stretch from 5:00 a.m. to 12:30 a.m., depending on the age.
