    Default Can a Minor Get Compensated for Being Required to Work Unlawful Hours

    My question involves workers compensation law for the state of: Ohio
    Hello, from my understanding minors aren't aloud to work more then 5hours a shift without a 30minute break and not aloud to work past 11 on a school night.(If wrong corrections are welcome)
    I have been working shifts anywhere from 5-11 hours as a minor and was wondering what actions to take to report this. Or if there is settlement that should be made etc.
    I have records of all time slips(been there for almost 18months) and there are over 50(still sorting others) that are violating the minor labor laws.
    Any comments and advice is appreciated.
    Thank you.

    All it can result in is the employer being fined by the state. You did not win the lottery.

    Thank you for your response, therefore would you recommend taking the time and money it would take to pursue it or what would you do in this circumstance?

    I would recommend that you tell us how old you are, because the rules for those under 16 and the rules for those 16 and 17 are not the same.

    I am currently 17, but have been there since March of 2012 so was 16 as well.

    Then I would recommend that you drop the subject, since the limitations you mention apply only to those UNDER 16
