Practice question
An employer reads RA10151 as authority to schedule everyone at night, including a sixteen-year-old from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. It argues that repeal of the old women’s ban erased every separate child-labor night restriction. Which is correct?
- All night-work restrictions disappeared
- A sixteen-year-old is automatically an adult night worker for every law
- The parent may repeal the child-hours rule privately
- The company may select the least protective statute and ignore the rest
- Repeal of the old women’s provisions does not remove the separate prohibition on work from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. for ages fifteen to below eighteen
