Age of Staff ?
Discussion
Hey all,
Just a query,
I have a 14 yr old Saturday Girl who works for me, bright kid, good with customers, trustworthy (I know her Granparents!)
Various other traders in the village have told me that its perfectly acceptable to leave a 14 yr old on her own in the shop, I think not, insurance policy seems to make no mention of staff age etc.
Have no intention of leaving her on her own, personally I think its too much to ask etc, but was curious what others think?

Thanks guys, all helpful comments!
Yes, am only letting her work 5 hrs on Saturdays, and also give her breaks etc, also pay her more than the minimum wage etc !
Like others say, its a shame all this is about insurances and red tape nowadys, I remember helping local farmers when I was 12/13, carting trailers full of potatoes, strimming round ponds, and all sorts of good stuff!
Am sure health and safety would have a fit in todays society!
