Utah Child Labor Laws for the Film Industry
Other Labor Laws
The rights that apply to adult workers also apply to minors. Productions must provide a 30-minute meal beak within five hours after work starts. Minors cannot work for more than 3 hours without a 10 minute rest period. Minors are also entitled to minimum wage.
You can find local studio teachers and child welfare coordinators listed in the Utah Film Commission’s Crew Directory HERE. These individuals provide schooling to all school-aged minors and serve as a child advocate for all minors on set.
Read more about labor laws in Utah Code R610-2-3 and the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission website. If a production cannot meet all these standards but can prove it is still safeguarding the minor, the production may apply for an exemption with the Utah Labor Commission.
