Work Permits

All minors under the age of 18 who are employed. (Exceptions: Occasional babysitting, yardwork, domestic work).

The work permit verifies your age for the employer and enables the employer to comply with State and Federal Labor Laws. Different age groups are permitted to work different hours.

1. At the School Office, you can pick up the Request for Work Permit and Statement of Intent to Employ Minor.
2. Complete your portion with your name, age, birthdate, Social Security number, etc.
3. Have your employer complete the section about the job: Wages, hours, Worker's Compensation Insurance, etc.
4. Have your parents sign the application.
5. Return the application to the School Office, and they will issue a Work Permit.

All students applying for a Work Permit must meet the following requirements:

1. A passing grade in all classes
2. Attendance of 90% or higher
3. An appropriate discipline record at school and work

Understand that grades and attendance will be monitored throughout the year. If the student does not meet the above requirements, his/her work permit will be revoked. Any student denied a work permit due to grade, attendance, and or discipline concerns must wait until the next grading period to reapply.

Take the work permit to your employer. The employer is required to have a Work Permit on file for all minors employed and then to return the Work Permit to your school upon termination of employment. Work Permits must be reissued at the start of each school year.

Yes. During the school year a new Work Permit must be secured for each and every employer. The same procedure is followed in each case to get a Work Permit. If you hold two jobs, you need two Work Permits.
