When can I start working as a student worker?

You're young and you want to earn some pocket money? That's possible if you're a student worker! But when can you start to work as a student worker? If you're 15, you can do so if you've already completed the second year of high school, otherwise you must be at least 16 years old.

If you're at least fifteen years old and you've finished the second year of secondary school, or if you're at least sixteen years old. From that time on you can work as a student worker.

As a student worker you'll pay the minimum in social security, and you won't be taxed. That is, if you don't work more than 475 in one year. Do you want to work more? You can, but you'll start to pay more taxes, and it's possible that your parents lose child support.
