Clear responsibilities before every placement
The participating business directly employs and pays the young person, administers payroll, obtains the child employment permit, completes the workplace risk assessment, and provides supervision and health and safety. Its own insurance must cover employees aged 13–15, the duties and the workplace.
Second Corner coordinates recruitment and matching, employer checks, guardian communication, monitoring, incident escalation and reporting. No placement starts until the required permit, insurance and workplace checks are complete.
You don't have to figure this out alone.
Whether you're 13 and curious, or 15 and looking for paid work — there's a spot for you in this corner.
