Work Permit

Dear Student,
Thank you for your interest in getting your work permit. If you are a minor (under 18) and have not
yet graduated from high school...

WHEN you confirm you have been hired, because you are a minor and have not yet graduated high school, your new employer will ask for a permit.

1. You, your parent/guardian, and your employer will have to fill out a "Work Permit Request Form."
2. You will turn in the request to me.
3. I will check on your attendance and your quality of work with your Teacher.

IF you have good attendance and good quality of work:

• I will start a permit.
• I will sign and date the permit.

THEN

4. I will issue you a signed copy of an official Work Permit.
You sign it and you give the FINAL signed permit to your employer.
5. UNTIL you graduate or turn 18, whichever comes first, you will need a new permit at the start of a new job, the start of a new school year, or the start of a new school.

Congratulations on all your job opportunities. I am here to support you in the work world. I am available to answer your questions about a professional resume and education related to your career field interests.
