Hire/Sponsor a Minor
(Summary)
The Primary Supervisor, who proposes to hire or sponsor a minor,
contacts DLC's Personnel Administrator or Administrative Officer
and the DLC EHS Coordinator. The Supervisor should provide a summary
of the planned work, including a brief job description and information
about the minor including the minor's date of birth and proposed
start and end dates of project and hours of work. Advance notice
is requested.
The EHS Coordinator will contact the EHS Lead Contact to initiate
the review of the project. If the Department is one that doesn't
have a Coordinator/ Lead Contact, the Supervisor should send an
email with the above information to environment@mit.edu to initiate
the review.
We will contact the direct supervisor to schedule an evaluation
of the tasks and the work area.
* Many high school students are at MIT as unpaid interns,
for academic enhancement, etc. The EHS Office reviews these projects
and applies the same principles because the Institute's liability
is much greater if minors are injured.

for the Institute's Personnel Policy on the Employment of Minors.
This policy states that no one under the age of 16 may be employed.
It also describes how MIT will adhere to the legal restrictions
on the type of hazardous work that minors may perform.
