How Old Do You Have to be to Work at McDonalds? The Federal government has passed the âFair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)â that sets the minimum age to work at most jobs (including McDonalds and Wal-Mart) at 14-years-old. It also limits the number of hours that employees under the age of 16 are allowed to work. Because of the hour limitations for 14 and 15-year-olds, a large number of companies require a minimum age of 16 for their employees. Another factor companies might not hire employees under 16 is that the older teens tend to be more mature and, therefore, more reliable.
It depends on the state that you live in. That state's Department of Labor sets the standard. For the most part the minimum age is 16 years old and there any many rules designed to ease minors in. There are some states in the south that allow 15 year olds to work but under extremely limited hours.
