In my Tourist Town business owners hire their own children ( over age 12 or more) to teach them good work habits and they also start them with their own bank account to start saving when young. However these same Business Owners seem more lenient on their own youth than strangers who also work for them. The owners kids only work part time or when convenient for parents schedule of events ( Family get together’s etc ) while the other employees are expected to work the Holidays,because as part timers they don’t have to pay overtime for holiday pay etc A lot of kids whose parents hired them also got references from the parents and or friends of the parents in order to further their kids career goals. I talked with several kids about this and they are forced by their parent to comply and by the time they are old enough to leave they do and in some cases never return for a long time, others took off and took jobs in the travel industry or took up teaching English abroad. Anything to get away from the oppression and expectations of the parents. Others continued on to Apprenticeship,College or University to live away from the control that was placed on them. Some became wandering Artists while others turned there Hobbies into a Business of there own. At the very least they have had a taste of work ethics good or bad and made better decisions on what direction that they would take when they became young adults in control of their own lives. Number one thing is to know your rights as an employee and learn about wages and taxes that are taken off one’s paycheck.( biggest surprise to youth thinking that they get everything when they work,didn’t know about deductions).
