WORK PERMITS

Teenage workers who are not exempt must have a work permit before beginning work.   Work permits are available from most schools or their administrative offices.  The process is as follows:

1.     The employer completes Part I of the work permit listing the minor's name, occupation, hours of work and rate of pay.

2.     The minor completes Part II and takes the work permit to the school for completion by the issuing officer.

3.     The issuing officer at the school approves the work permit.

4.     The minor gives the work permit to the employer before starting work and the employer keeps the work permit on file.  

If the minor changes jobs, a new work permit is required for the new employer.  A work permit may be revoked for poor academic performance.  A work permit is required even if the minor does not attend school.
