Minors employed in the state of California must have a Permit to Employ and Work (commonly referred to as a “Work Permit”). Work Permits are typically issued by the school where the student is enrolled. Work permits indicate the duties and location where the work will be done as well as the number of hours a minor may work.
The minor, along with the parent/guardian and employer, complete the Work Permit form (Form B1-1) and submit it to the school. The school reviews the Work Permit Application and then issues the Work Permit. Students must maintain satisfactory attendance and have at least a 2.0 GPA to be eligible for a Work Permit
A minor must have a separate Work Permit for each employer, consequently, if a minor has multiple employers they must have a Work Permit for each employer. Additionally, if a minor ceases to work for an employer and is later hired by a new employer, the minor must get a new Work Permit for the new employer. Work Permits are required during the school year and during summer. Work Permits expire 5 days after school begins and students desiring to continue working, must submit a new work permit yearly.
Once you have found a job, please print and complete the form provided below (the minor, parent/guardian, and employer will all need to sign it). Once all signatures have been obtained, please return the application to Ms. Laurie Kershner in the Attendance Office. Paper copies are also available.
