How much does Kroger pay 15-year-olds?

Kroger does not pay 15-year-olds, because the minimum age of employment at Krogers is 16 years old. In some states, a 15-year-old person may apply for a work permit. In this care, Kroger would pay the 15-year-old the same rate as they would pay anyone else working in the same position.

A sales associate, for example, averages $12.42 an hour. In the states that allow 15-year-olds to work via a work permit approved by their parent or guardian, there is a limited number of hours they are allowed to work. Typically it is 15 hours a week. Therefore, a 15-year-old at Kroger could make up to $186.30 a week.
