I was accepted for KFC but I'm 15 and I have to be 16. What do I do?

I live in the UK and I've been recently trying to look for a job this summer and came across KFC.

I love KFC anyways so much so I applied and to my surprise I got accepted for an interview!

It has been really stressing me out recently because I applied for a part time position, went to the job interview, had so much fun and got accepted yesterday - but I've been reading so many things saying that I have to be over 16. I am very well eligible to work in the UK. I'm not 15 years old and 9 months yet so I can't get a NIC and it really worries me. I'm going to start my shift in a few days. What do I do?

PS. Please reply asap! It's really stressful.

Did they ever ask your age? Did you ever tell them you were 16 i.e lied?

You can still work at 15m but it may be against their policy.

It depends whether its term time or not.

[*]Only light work;


[*]Not before 7am or after 7pm;


[*]Not during school hours on any day the child is required to attend school; and


[*]Not for more than two hours on any school day, or 12 hours in any school week.



In the holidays

At 15 a child may work for up to eight hours on a weekday when he or she is not at school, or on a Saturday. They may also work for up to 35 hours in a non-school week.
