The minimum age requirement for employment at Journeys is generally sixteen years old. This standard aligns with federal and state labor laws regarding the employment of minors. Specific positions or locations may have slightly different age requirements depending on the nature of the work and local regulations.
Establishing a minimum age for employment is important for several reasons. It protects younger individuals from potentially hazardous work conditions and ensures their access to education. Historically, child labor laws were enacted to address exploitation and promote the well-being of young people entering the workforce. The policy also helps to define legal boundaries for businesses and promotes ethical labor practices.
