Document background
The Consent Letter From Parents To Work is a crucial document required by Nigerian law when employing individuals under the age of 18. This document is necessary to comply with the Labour Act and Child's Rights Act, which mandate parental consent for youth employment. The letter should be used whenever an employer wishes to hire a minor for legitimate work activities. It must include comprehensive details about the employment arrangement, including the nature of work, working hours, safety measures, and compensation. The document serves both as legal protection for the employer and as a safeguard for the minor's interests, ensuring transparency and compliance with Nigerian youth employment regulations. It's particularly important in sectors where youth employment is common and must be renewed if there are significant changes to the employment terms.
