Working at sephora 18+

It’s known that you cannot work at sephora until turning 18, but does anyone know why you need to be 18?

Re: Working at sephora 18+

My guess is that it's just easier for the company to require you to be 18+ since it avoids complications with labour laws when it comes to scheduling, since they'll legally be an adult.

 

There are working hour restrictions for those under the age of 18 (which may vary by country/state), so it's difficult to schedule young teens, even if they are willing to work.

 

For example, some labour restrictions may prohibit youth from working past 10pm. There have been times where I've seen a worker scheduled until 10pm, but they would stay a few minutes longer to help out a client who was finishing their shopping. Had this worker been under 18, they would be accidentally breaking labour laws and management would get in trouble. Sure, they could just not be scheduled for closing shifts, but this would mean more people would have to be hired to cover these shifts, and training is expensive. It's easier to just hire someone who can legally work at any hour than multiple people who are restricted to the hours they can work.
