What is the maximum hours a 16 year old can work in Washington State?
I thought it was 20. Then I heard at school that you can work 30 if you have a B average in school. I did some reading on the internet and couldn't find anything about it. So what is the max?

According to the law, "For 16- and 17-year-old workers only, six-hour shifts and up to 28 hours per week are available through a special variance from the school district." "With a special variance, a 16- or 17-year-old teen can work up to 6 hours in a day, with a maximum of 28 hours during a school week in non-agricultural jobs if the school, business, parents, and teens agree that the extra work hours would not be detrimental to the teen's well-being, school attendance or academic performance. The special variance does not require approval from Labor and Industries. A special variance must include signatures of approval from the parent, teen, business, and the school. The special variance is included on page 2 of the regular Parent/School Authorization form. "

No. You'll have to get a Washington Food Handler's Permit.

Although some licenses are transferable, there is no reciprocity when it comes to Food Handling Licenses. Even chefs like myself need to be certified from state to state. kinda sucks after going to school for 4 years, but you gotta pay your "Uncle".

It depends on the policies of the union and the company. There are no laws against it, so if the company allows it and the union won't kick you out for it, then go for it.
