how old do you have to be to get a saturday job

[Buenchico]

The minimum age for Saturday employment is 13 but you're only allowed to work for a maximum of 5 hours. (The 5 hour limit still applies at the age of 14 but it goes up to 8 hours at age 15).

There are several other rules, including the requirement for your local education authority to issue you with a permit.
