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.
Rating Newest Oldest. Best Answer: It usually depends on the employer as to what their minimum hiring age is. In most states it is 16 years old. Although, I have seen cases where 15 year olds are allowed to work, but with very strict break requirements and limits on how late they are allowed to work. There are also limits for 16 years old, but they are not as strict. Once you hit 18, you are free to work pretty much anywhere.
