The Child Labor Law Poster is a Vermont child labor law poster provided for businesses by the Vermont Department Of Labor. This notification is required for some employers, such as employers who employ minors.

This poster discusses Child Labor pursuant to the laws of the State of Vermont under the supervision and enforcement of the Vermont Department of Labor. It begins by stating the areas or professions in which children of the ages 14 or 15 may not participate in; these include: Communications, public utilities, construction or repair, driving or helping to drive a vehicle, manufacturing and mining operations, power machinery, processing occupations, public messenger work, transportation of human capital or public property, and workplaces in which products are mined, processed, or manufactured.

For children aged 16 or 17 years, prohibited jobs include anything deemed hazardous by the Secretary of Labor (Federal) or the Commissioner of the Vermont Department of Labor (State). A full list of jobs deemed hazardous by one or both of these parties can be found on the website of the Department of Labor. This poster closes by declaring that Vermont is an equal opportunity employer.
