It’s essential for HR to know about labor laws for children, including what they are and aren’t allowed to do on the job. So here’s the question: Would you let a 10-year-old be a bullfighter?
Authorities in France are trying to determine whether it’s legal to allow a 10-year-old to appear at a bullfight as a matador.
Prosecutors received a complaint by animal rights groups, which said the event would be a breach of labor laws limiting the work of minors.
What would make this legal? A contract has to be signed for the boy showing that he was due to be paid.
In Spain, the minimum age for matadors is 16.
Authorities have until Saturday to figure all this out. That’s when the touring matadors begin their appearances at various places across France.
