Ill. Admin. Code tit. 20, § 2603.160 - Employment of Children
Active and inquisitive children need to have their time occupied. Idleness contributes to disciplinary problems and to the deterioration of programs. Children need training in establishing good work habits.
Children shall be required to perform general housekeeping tasks and yard work that is considered normal in a family setting.
No child shall perform work assignments as a substitute for a staff member task.
Youth may be allowed to take employment outside of the shelter care facility. Adherence to the State of Illinois child labor statutes and regulations is required.
Notes
State regulations are updated quarterly; we currently have two versions available. Below is a comparison between our most recent version and the prior quarterly release. More comparison features will be added as we have more versions to compare.
