The employer must have this written consent on file indicating that the parent or guardian knows where the child is working, the hours of the work, and the type of work.

For complete details of conditions, see www.labour.gov.bc.ca/esb or call 1-800-663-7867. | Section 9 of the ESA states that children under the age of 15 cannot be employed unless the employer has obtained written permission from a parent or guardian.
