Additional Components of the Administrative Decision in the Labor Inspector’s Permit for a Child under 16 to Perform Work or Other Paid Activities

Abstract

The procedure for obtaining permission for a child to perform labor is one of the guarantors of protection for a child performing labor. However, awareness of the need to obtain a child labor permit for children under the age of 16 under Article 3045 of the Labor Code is negligible, as can be seen by the number of requests for labor inspectors to issue permits. Permission for a child to perform work is an administrative decision within the meaning of Article 104 of the Administrative Procedure Code. The author stresses that it is good practice in issuing permits for the performance of work by a child to include additional components in the content of the decision, especially those containing arrangements for working conditions that take into account the welfare of the child.
