On your own: how to earn money for a student

Often, teenagers' desires do not correlate with the amount of their pocket money. Then you can earn money on your own for a new phone or, for example, trendy sneakers. About where students should look for work, by whom, where, and for how long to work, and how much they can earn, is in the Izvestia article.

At what age can I work

Not all students are allowed to work. According to the basic rules, it is possible to start working in Russia only after reaching a certain age.

— From the age of 14: with the written consent of parents or guardians, easy work;

— From the age of 15: without parental consent, at his own request for a simple job;

— From the age of 16: you can sign a contract on your own.

At the same time, there are options for which it is allowed to work from an earlier age — up to 14 years old. According to the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, children can participate in the creation of circus performances, theater performances, films and TV series. But before that, you need the consent of one of the parents (guardian), and the parent or guardian must also sign the employment contract.

Where teenagers are not allowed to work

Teenagers cannot work in harmful and dangerous jobs that can impair their health and "moral development."

Forbidden areas:

— Work related to lifting and moving heavy loads, for example, you can not work as movers;

— Construction;

— Chemical, manufacturing, and metallurgical plants;

— Gambling, night clubs, bars, alcohol and tobacco trade;

— Drivers and machinists;

— Shift work, where business trips are provided.

How many hours can teenagers work?

Students can work in their free time: after school on weekdays, on weekends, and on vacations.

But teenagers have a shortened schedule: schoolchildren cannot work a full shift. Their working day should be less than eight hours, and how much depends on the age of the teenager.

— 14-15 years old: up to four hours a day;

— 15-16 years old: up to five hours a day;

— 16-18 years old: up to seven hours a day.

What will be the salary of teenagers?

The salary of a teenager and the earnings of a person over the age of 18 will differ, even if they work in the same positions in the same company. The reason for this is the shortened working week of minors. The salary of people under the age of 18 is calculated in proportion to the time worked.

However, there are jobs with piecework payments. Their payouts depend not on the hours, but on the result.

Where should students look for work

The most convenient way to find a job is through popular specialized services. Some of them can be filtered "for teenagers". If there is no such thing, you need to set the filter "part-time", "part-time" or "underemployment".

Another option for finding a job on the Internet is through social networks and messengers. For example, Telegram and VKontakte have many channels and communities where vacancies for minors are published. But before responding, you need to make sure that the group is official, it's not scammers, and the type of activity will be legal.

Jobs can also be found on platforms for the self-employed, for example, YouDo, "Self-employed.Russian Federation". There are many offers of piecework.

You can also get a job through an employment center. You need to fill out the application online or offline.
