My brother is 16 and he has been working at this restaurant in Florida for quite a while now, he works without breaks and around 40hours a week. Is this considered against child labor laws? Is it possible for his him or his parents to sue the business?
Answers:
Florida may have child labor laws that are more strict than the Federal labor laws. Assuming they don't, your brother can work 40 hours per week without any breaks, since Federal law doesn't require them.
don't think so they are not holding a gun to his head forcing him to work, but he can be in trouble if he is violating state labor laws..

what you are looking for is in the first few pages
in the state of Wisconsin it is illegal. You cannot work over so many hours when you are 16 and you have to have breaks at least every 4 hours. And you cannot work more than so many hours per day. Sorry, I don't remember exacts though
