Revisions to Child Labor Restrictions open upmore jobs for Maine’s teens this summer
AUGUSTA, Maine – As schoolvacation draws near, Maine’semployers, parents and teens look tosummer employment as a solution totheir needs. Parents hope that summerjobs will give their children someinsight into possible careers and teachthe power of earning your ownmoney.
Employers look to fill gaps in theirworkforce during the busy summertourist season. Teens want to makemoney, meet new people and havefun. An update to the classifications ofemployment available to minors willhelp Maine’s teens find more work thissummer.
Bill Ellis, director of marketing at Point
Sebago Resort in Casco, stressed theimportant contribution teens make intheir business, “A large portion, nearlyhalf, of Point Sebago's summerworkforce of three to four hundredemployees is made up of teens. Theseyoung workers are employed asactivities counselors, lifeguards, waitstaff, entertainers, maintenance crew,at the golf course, and in dozens ofother positions throughout the 775acre resort.”
For teens under the age of 16,restrictions limit the types of jobs andthe hours they can work. Minorscannot work jobs considered“hazardous.” The Department of

Labor’s Bureau of Labor Standards hasupdated the restrictions to bring themmore in line with current federalrequirements. This change now allowminors under the age of 16 in Maineto work in movie theaters and bowlingalleys, and to do more jobs than werepermitted previously in suchestablishments as hotels, motels, andbakeries.
For example, although 15-year-oldsmay not operate the ovens, they candecorate cakes, fill pastries, stock thedisplay cases, and serve customers.
Some of the jobs Maine teens under18 years old cannot do includeoperating most mechanical equipment,driving for work, and working alone ina cash-based business.
The revisions have been made to helpboth employers and teens. “Summerjobs create an opportunity to connectstudents with pride in earning apaycheck and helping others,” saidMaine Department of LaborCommissioner Robert Winglass.“Young people can develop a strongwork ethic and learn how to managemoney. ”
There a few steps teens must go
through to obtain a work permit. First,teens must look for work and receive ajob offer. They then must apply for awork permit at the office of thesuperintendent of the school district inwhich they live. All minors under theage of 16 must have a work permitbefore they start a job, whether or notthey attend school. The school districtsends the completed application to theMaine Department of Labor forapproval. Teens can have two workpermits (for two different jobs) in thesummer, but only one permit during theschool year.
Parents and employers can helpexpedite the approval process by
making sure the work permit requestincludes both proof of age andparental/guardian approval. Theapplication must contain the specificjob title (e.g. “dishwasher”). The nameof the business on the permit must bethe actual business name, which maybe different than what peoplecommonly call it. The Bureau of LaborStandards has sent the updated list ofrestricted employment to all schooldistricts in Maine.
A copy of the “Guide to Maine LawsGoverning the Employment of Minors”is posted on the Maine Department ofLabor website and is available byrequest by calling 207-623-7900.

New Unemployment OptionHelps Keep Workers on the JobAUGUSTA, Maine – MaineDepartment of Labor officials arelaunching a new unemploymentinitiative in June aimed at keepingworkers on the job when theiremployer experiences a temporaryslowdown in business.
The program, known as WorkShare,allows workers to remain on the jobwith reduced hours and still collect amodified unemployment benefit that
partially offsets the loss in wages.“When employers need to have atemporary layoff or cut hours, they risklosing their best employees to otherjobs,” said Maine LaborCommissioner Robert Winglass.“WorkShare helps businesses retaintheir workforce part-time and allowsworkers to collect unemploymentbenefits. This can temporarily makeup the difference in lost hours.”
To be eligible for WorkShare, theemployer needs to attest that thelayoff would have impacted at least10 percent of workers for a two-to-six-month period. The reduction in hoursmust be at least 10 percent—but notmore than 50 percent—and affect aunit of the business that normallyworks on a full-time basis. WorkShareis not available for work reductionsthat are temporary or related to aseasonal or intermittent downturn.
To receive unemployment benefits
under WorkShare, workers must beincluded in the affected unit of thebusiness; have earned enough wagesto meet the regular qualifications forunemployment benefits; and be ableand available to work their normallyscheduled hours for their employer.Partial unemployment benefits arepaid in a percentage equal to thereduction in hours. Thus, someonewho has lost 25 percent of their hourswould receive 25 percent of theirnormal weekly unemployment benefitif they are eligible for the program.
“WorkShare benefits both the workerand the employer,” said Winglass.“Workers keep their work historyintact and have the ability to retaintheir benefits and seniority on the job.
Employers are able to maintain theiroperations on a smaller scale andgear up quickly when the economyimproves while avoiding theunnecessary costs and delaysassociated with recruitment andtraining when laid-off workers takejobs—elsewhere.”
The WorkShare program is a result ofa 2011 federal law change thattakes effect in 2012. For moreinformation about WorkShare call(207) 621-5100 or visitwww.maine.gov/labor/unemployment/workshare.

Programs help Maine’s Veterans find jobsAUGUSTA—Unemployed veteransaged 35 to 60 in Maine may qualifyfor up to 12 months of job trainingthrough the new Veterans RetrainingAssistance Program (VRAP). VRAP willprovide training for programs ofeducation that lead to a high-demandoccupation. The program, which startsJuly 1, is a joint effort of the U.S.Department of Veterans Affairs and theU.S. Department of Labor.
Veterans who visit Maine Departmentof Labor’s CareerCenters can beconnected to VRAP as well as otherveterans’ services. “Often the first thingveterans think about after they returnhome and connect with their families is‘I need a job,’” said Leon Ouimet,
manager of the Southern MidcoastCareerCenter in Brunswick, which hasbeen directing returning veterans to theprogram. “They often come to theCareerCenter to look for work beforeaccessing other services available toveterans. We can help them connectwith the services they need, includingtraining, jobs, rehabilitation or otherbenefits.” CareerCenters also helpemployers recruit and hire veterans.
According to the U.S. Census, Mainehas the fourth highest concentration ofveterans in the nation. Approximately132,000 residents are veterans,representing approximately 13.2percent of the state population aged20 or older.
A recent report issued by the MaineDepartment of Labor indicates thatlabor force participation for veterans isgenerally lower than for the non-veteran population. A copy of thereport, Labor Market Activities ofMaine Veterans, is available on theMaine Department of Labor website atwww.maine.gov/labor/cwri.
Historically, veterans have hadunemployment rates below the non-veteran population. This trend hasreversed in recent years with higherunemployment rates for veterans thannon-veteran workers. Most notablewas the plight of young veterans,where unemployment rates nearlytripled to more than 14 percent duringthe recession and early recovery.
The VRAP program seeks to target theproblem of unemployed veteransbetween the ages of 35 and 60.Participants may receive up to 12months of assistance equal to themonthly full-time payment rate underthe Montgomery GI Bill–Active Dutyprogram—currently $1,473 permonth. Each veteran who participateswill be provided employmentassistance upon completion of theprogram. Applications are nowavailable online at
http://benefits.va.gov/vow.
The Maine Department of Labor’sCareerCenters offer specializedemployment and training services forveterans. Veterans and eligiblespouses are given priority of serviceunder most Maine Department ofLabor-funded programs. ACareerCenter veterans' representativecan help returning service membersfind a job, learn new skills or accessother state or federal resources.

Could you use 15 extradays a year to get yourwork done?
If you always feel harried andharassed to get everything donein your life, think about getting upan hour earlier every day. Bygetting up just one hour earlierevery day for a year, you will add15 entire days to your life to getthings done, according toLeif Hokanson of PersonalBest Consulting.
With most of the nation’s colleges anduniversities quickly nearing the end ofthe spring semester, tens of thousandsstudents and new graduates across thecountry are preparing to embark onsummer internships, which areincreasingly vital to career development.However, one workplace authoritywarns that many interns will fail tomaximize the experience and convert itinto a full-time position.
“Internships are more important thanever. We are at a point in this recoverywhere job gains are finally gainingmomentum, but, overall, employersremain cautious when it comes to hiring.They want to ensure that they arebringing in the most talented candidateswho mesh well with the company and itsworkers. Internships offer an ideal on-the-job testing ground that more andmore employers rely on for identifyingand recruiting entry-level workers,” saidJohn A. Challenger, chief executiveofficer of global outplacement firmChallenger, Gray & Christmas, Inc.
“The problem is that many interns simplyshow up every day, put in their hoursand never give any thought about howto get the most out of their short time withthe employer and taking the extra stepsnecessary to turn this temporary positioninto a full-time one,” he added.
According to an outlook released earlierthis year by Challenger, Gray &Christmas, the entry-level job market hasimproved steadily over the last twoyears. However, the competition forthese positions remains fierce andhaving internship experience is a muston any resume. The latest data showsthat the number of internships beingoffered is on the rise.
The National Association of Collegesand Employers 2012 Internship & Co-Op survey found that employers willincrease internship hires 8.5 percentover 2011. Employers also reportedthe highest conversion rate, the rate bywhich interns become full-timeemployees, ever tracked by NACE:57.7 percent in 2011 versus 58.6percent this year.
“Employers view internships as avaluable hiring tool. It gives employersthe chance to evaluate a potentialemployee’s performance for anextended period of time in real-worldconditions. It also lets an employergauge how the intern fits into thecompany culture, which is nearly asimportant as skills and experience.
“As an intern, it is critical to treat eachday like a job interview. You want to setyourself apart from your fellow interns.As the slowing economy potentiallyleads to fewer full-time positions, it iscritical that interns exceed expectations.Those who merely meet expectationsprobably will not get the full-time joboffer,” said Challenger.
“Meeting the right people during yourinternship is also critical. It is likely thatthe person supervising the interns isrelatively low on the corporate totempole. In fact, he or she may be only ayear or two out of college. The internwith full-time job aspirations should makea daily effort to meet the managers andexecutives who make the hiringdecisions. The higher up the executiveyou impress, the greater the odds that apermanent position will be found foryou,” he added.
“Students who do not receive an offerfrom the company where they internedcan still benefit from the experience.Managers and executives in thecompany represent the beginning ofyour job-search network. Even if theycannot find a spot for you in theircompany, they may know executives inanother company that may haveopenings.”
John Challenger provided the followingadvice for this year’s crop of summerinterns to improve their chances of beingoffered a full-time job or the opportunityto return next summer, in the case of non-graduating college students:
Treat your internship as a real job. The best way to prove you are qualifiedfor a permanent position is throughaction. Think of your internship as a trialperiod or extended interview forobtaining the position you desire.Always be on time and meet deadlines.Maintain a positive attitude and showthat you are eager to learn and succeedby seeking out feedback to improve yourperformance and develop new skills.
Take initiative and exceedexpectations. By taking initiative you can showmanagement what you are capable of.Do not be afraid to voice your ownideas, offer solutions, and ask questions.Show interest in attending meetings andseek out extra work and new projects.When you go above and beyond theminimum, you demonstrate yourcommitment level and gain the attentionof management.

Internships vitalin this job marketBut many miss the chance to convert to full-time job
Dress according to company dresscodes. While you want to stand out from thepack, you don’t want to draw attentionto yourself for the wrong reasons. Bydressing professionally you reinforce theimpression that you can adapt to and fitin with the company’s culture.
Keep track of your contributions andaccomplishments. Keep track of the projects you workedon, your individual contributions, andthe results achieved. Having a tangiblerecord of your achievements with thecompany is a helpful tool in convincinga manager why you should be hired fulltime.
Network, network, network. Developing contacts inside and outsideof your department is extremelyimportant. Schedule lunches ormeetings with company managers andexecutives to give them a betterunderstanding of what you’re about and
what you plan on accomplishing. Finda mentor to teach you the ropes of theorganization and offer advice oncompany politics. The contacts youmake through your internship couldprove invaluable throughout your time atthe organization and throughout yourcareer.
Ask about available entry-levelpositions. Let your employer know that you wouldlike a job with that particularorganization. Ask about what positionsare available and express your interestin them. An employer will be more likelyto consider you for a position if theyknow you are interested in it.
Stay in contact. If you don’t get hired for a positionimmediately after your internship ends,stay in touch. Check-in with yourcontacts and provide updates on yourprogress. This will help to keep you inthe forefront for the employer’s mindwhen a position opens.
