I am wondering what the law is for the kids of the owners to work at the plant site. What about nieces and nephews? Is there an age limit? Any info is welcome
Thanks

Although you made no mention of it in your post, I would caution about possible nepotism issues. Good luck.

Missouri child labor laws differ from federal laws with regard to how many hours 14 and 15 year olds may work. Federal child labor law is more stringent regarding the total number of hours youth can work. Contact the USDOL Wage and Hour Section for specific information.
Young people under the age of 14 are allowed to work only in limited areas such as the entertainment industry (an entertainment permit issued by the Division of Labor Standards is required). Young people 14 to 15 years of age are permitted to work in a number of different types of businesses, with the majority working in some form of retail or food services. A work certificate is required during the school year. The employment of young people over the age of 16 does not fall under Missouri law, but some restrictions do exist under federal law.

plus: Q. If a young person works for a parent does the law still apply? A. The only allowable exemption from the law is when the business is owned by the parent or legal guardian and the child remains under the direct control of the parent or legal guardian. If the parent is simply a supervisor, the law still applies.
Thanks for the input from everyone. I don't know if he's going to bring his son in or not...
The GM is the son of the owner of the business. Well, the owner came in yesterday and reemed me a new one! How could I turn in her son when he's sooo good to me? I am not to do anything without explicit instructions from him from now on. Then she got into some personal history and I sat there shell shocked! I was so angry, shocked and hurt. I didn't check into the child labor laws to keep her grandkids from working here. So my advice, know who you are dealing with and watch out for family owned concerns

A family owned business is a rascally thing. Especially one run by the family matriarc. As our friend said, get that resume polished up. Soon.
Good luck....
