Section I. A 15-year-old high school student is employed as a library assistant at a municipal library after school from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM, Monday to Friday, and on Saturdays from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM. The minor shelves books, stamps, assists patrons at the desk under supervision, and delivers library materials within the building. The minor does not handle hazardous materials or operate heavy machinery. The minor’s parent provides written consent, and the minor continues to attend school. (a) Identify the controlling rule on the employment of minors in this context and its source. (b) Distinguish whether the rule governs permissible kinds of work or permissible hours, and how the Labor Code interacts with D.O. No. 149-16, s. 2016, and D.O. No. 149-A, s. 2017. (c) Apply the rule to the facts: is the employment permissible? If permissible, state the conditions that must be satisfied; if not, specify the violation and potential liability.
