Article 23 Federal Labor Law

When the labor authorities detect a minor under fifteen years of age working outside the family circle, they shall order that he immediately cease his work. The employer who incurs this conduct shall be sanctioned with the penalty established in article 995 Bis of this Law.

In the event that the minor is not earning the wage that an employee who provides the same services receives, the employer must compensate him for the differences.

The work of minors under eighteen years of age within the family circle is prohibited in any type of activity that results dangerous for their health, their safety or their morality, or that affects the exercise of their rights and, with it, their integral development.

Family circle shall be understood as the relatives of the minor, by consanguinity, ascendants or collaterals, up to the second degree.

When minors under eighteen years of age carry out any productive activity of self-consumption, under the direction of members of their family circle or guardians, these shall have the obligation to respect and protect the human rights of the minors and to provide the support and facilities necessary for them to conclude, at least, their compulsory basic education.
