Look for restaurant job

My son is studying in South Island School. He is 15 years and 4 months old. His school requires them to work for one week in Oct 2013 to gain some working experience. Because of his age, it is so difficult to find a job even though we don't expect to get paid. He is interested in workig in restaurants as a waiter or kitchen assistant. He speaks fluent English and Mandarin, good Cantonese. He is also doing catering subject in school. Anyone opearating a restaurant is willing to give him a chance? You do not need to buy insurance for him, his school is paying for that. Please email me via cityfunchinese at gmail dot com

Cara, FYI.


Employment of Children Regulations


The Employment of Children Regulations made under the Employment Ordinance govern the employment of children in all economic sectors. A child means a person under the age of 15 years. Major provisions of the Regulations are :

• Children aged under 15 are prohibited from working in all industrial undertakings.

• Children aged 13 and 14 may be employed in non-industrial establishments, subject to the condition that they attend full-time schooling if they have not yet completed Form III of secondary education and to other conditions which aim at protecting their safety, health and welfare.

• Children aged under 13 are prohibited from taking up employment. However, for the purposes of art and training, the Commissioner for Labour may grant special permission for children to be employed as entertainers, subject to certain stringent conditions as the Commissioner may specify.


The Employment of Children Regulations do not apply in relation to children who are registered apprentices under the Apprenticeship Ordinance (Cap. 47).
