Summer crew, scheduled inside the rules.
Lay out the week for your crew. Shore Shift checks every shift a 14-, 15-, 16- or 17-year-old works against Ohio's hours law and the federal rules, shows the hours you are short-handed, and prints the sheet for the wall.
Start a board, free or check one teen's week first
No account and no email: your board lives at a private link. Free for one board of 6 people. Crew Pass $1.95 a month, free during preview.

Ohio Oct 9, 2026
Ohio changed its teen-hours law in October 2026.
Since October 9, 2026 (House Bill 455), a 14- or 15-year-old in Ohio may work from 7 to 9 PM on a night before a day without school if a parent or guardian approves (R.C. 4109.07(A)(4)). The federal rule for employers it covers still ends the day at 7 PM outside June 1 through Labor Day (29 CFR 570.35(a)(6)). Shore Shift checks both and lists each rule a shift breaks, so you see the stricter one.
One board, three moves, every week.
- 1
Add your crew
First names or initials, an age group and, if you like, a pay rate. No birthdays, phone numbers or addresses: the check only needs the age group.
- 2
Lay out the week
Shifts in quarter hours with their rest breaks, the days school is in session, and how many people you need behind the counter hour by hour.
- 3
Fix it, then post it
Every rule problem is listed with its citation, every short-handed hour is marked, and the wall sheet is ready to print.
Two rulebooks, one check
The limits for a 14- or 15-year-old
Most of the numbers match. The evening hour does not: that is where schedules go wrong.
| Limit | Federal, 29 CFR 570.35 | Ohio, R.C. 4109.07 |
|---|---|---|
| School day | 3 hours | 3 hours |
| Day without school | 8 hours | 8 hours |
| Week with school | 18 hours | 18 hours |
| Week without school | 40 hours | 40 hours |
| Earliest start | 7:00 AM | 7:00 AM |
| Latest finish, summer | 9:00 PM, June 1 to Labor Day | 9:00 PM, June 1 to Sept 1, and school breaks of 5+ school days |
| Latest finish, otherwise | 7:00 PM | 7:00 PM; 9:00 PM before a day without school, with a parent's approval |
| Rest | Not set by this rule | 30 minutes after 5 hours in a row (all under 18) |

What Shore Shift is not
- Not payroll or a time clock. It plans hours; it does not record them or pay anyone.
- Not legal advice. It checks the hours rules quoted on The rules page. Work permits, jobs minors may not do and pay rules are outside it.
- Not a messaging app. It never contacts your crew. You post or share the sheet yourself.
