Multiple Employments

36. In determining the hours for which a young person might be employed, hours worked for other employers should be included. (There are provisions of this kind in Sections 28 and 29 of the Shops Act 1950).

Records

37. An employer would have the option either to keep suitable individual time records for each young person, showing the hours worked and intervals taken, or to exhibit a notice similar to notices in current use in factories e.g. form F11, showing the hours and intervals for all the young persons in the establishment.

38. Where it was decided to keep individual records these would have to be made available for inspection and retained for 12 months.

39. Where notices were used, if the young persons could be divided into groups working the same hours the employer would be free to decide whether to complete one notice including all the groups or separate notices for different groups. Where there were separate groups working different hours it would be necessary to show the names of the young persons employed in each group. It would be a requirement for a copy of the notice or notices to be sent to the enforcing authority. Arrangements would be made for the notification of variations to the particulars specified in the notice.

40. A young person under 16 years of age would not be allowed to start work before 6 a.m. nor work later than 6 p.m. He would not be allowed to work more than 44 hours in any week.
