Can you be under 18 on UpWork?

Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 9:23 pm

UpWork is a website that provides a platform for people to find and connect with jobs. In order to use UpWork, users must be 18 or older.

This policy is in line with the company’s general terms of service, which prohibits users from using the service if they are under 18.

PRO TIP: There is a strict policy against hiring anyone under the age of 18 on Upwork. If you are caught hiring someone under the age of 18, your account will be suspended and you will be subject to a $5,000 fine.

While the age requirement may seem restrictive, UpWork’s policy is designed to protect both users and the company. UpWork is not a child labor platform, and underage users would not be able to complete legally required tasks or meet the high standards required of employees.

Additionally, UpWork is not a platform for businesses to hire interns or workers below the minimum age requirement.

While UpWork’s age requirement may seem restrictive, the policy is designed to protect both users and the company.
