Turn Around

12 hours must elapse between the minor's dismissal time and next day call time or school start time. If the minor's regular school starts less than 12 hours after dismissal time, the minor must be schooled the following day at the employer's place of business. (8 CCR 11760 (i))

Travel Time

Travel time between school/home and studio is not work time. However, studio to location time counts as work time. When on distant location up to 45 minutes (each way) travel from overnight lodging to work site is not generally considered work time. (8 CCR 11759)

Teacher Certification

A studio teacher must hold 2 clear California teaching credentials. 1) A multi-subject k-12 (primary) and 2) A single subject (secondary) credential in: English, Math, Social Science, Science or a Foreign Language. Additionally, written examination and training will be required of the Studio Teacher by DLSE for final certification. (8 CCR 11755)

Studio Teachers

Employers must provide a studio teacher for the education of all minors up to 18 years old. Additionally, studio teachers shall care and attend to the welfare of all minors 16 years of age or under (8 CCR 11755.2 and 11755.3)

Split Calls/Two or More Jobs in One Day

Minors may work 2 or more jobs in 1 day. The combined total hours at all jobs, however, may not exceed the limits set forth by law. The last company employing the minor will be held responsible for assuring that the requirements have b even met. (Div. Memo 87-1 (d))

School On-Set

Educational instruction must be offered between the hours of 7:00 a.m. And 4 p.m. for children in grades 1-6; and between 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. For children in grades 7-12. Employers are to provide adequate facilities (i.e. a table and chairs, someplace where the child can study without being disturbed). (EC 48225.5)

Regular School Attendance and Work

If a minor attends regular or home school prior to reporting to work, the time spent in school will be considered 6 hours regardless of how long the child actually spent in school. 1 hour of R & R will be allocated to that 6 hour period. Example: a 9-15 year old minor who attends regular school would be permitted on set for a maximum of 3.5 hours. (Div. Memo 87-1 IV (c))
