An attorney, Viktoriya Romanchikova, has explained the rights of minors.

Up to 14 years of age: They may enter into minor everyday transactions, such as making purchases or paying for travel. Legal guardians are responsible for any damage caused to others' property.

From 14 years of age: They may manage their earnings, scholarships, and other income, and open a bank account. For most other transactions, written consent from one of the legal guardians is required.

First job: Allowed from 14 years of age, but only with the written consent of a parent, adoptive parent, or guardian. The work must be light, safe, not interfere with schooling, and not be harmful to health.

For minors, working hours are reduced:

• Ages 14–16: No more than 23 hours per week.
• Ages 16–18: No more than 35 hours per week. During the school year, for students, this limit is halved.

Heavy, dangerous labor, as well as night or overtime shifts, are prohibited for minors.

If a teenager works the reduced monthly quota, their pay must not be less than the full minimum monthly wage.
