N.Y. Comp. Codes R. & Regs. Tit. 18 § 441.10 - Work experiences for children
(a) As
part of its services an agency shall provide work experiences which have value
by encouraging positive attitudes in children toward work and toward
themselves. The particular work experience shall be individualized and related
to an evaluation of the child's needs, and shall be appropriate to the child's
age, physical strength and readiness to do the task.
(b) Children shall be encouraged to take
pride in their group living unit by performing daily tasks.
(c) Major work experiences made available for
pay either directly by the agency or through a community resource shall also be
encouraged. Within these and other work assignments shall be training
components and direct supervision designed to stimulate the child's interest
and to offer opportunities for development of skills of benefit to the
children. In addition, there shall be constant concern for the rights of the
child and the child shall participate in decisions regarding work
assignments.
(d) All work shall be
performed under the supervision of responsible adults. Work experience shall
not supersede academic education, clinical intervention, religious observance,
family contact, recreation, community or other activities within the agency's
normal program format. All work shall be done in accordance with applicable
labor laws.
