Work Permits

All students who are under 18 years of age are legally required to obtain a work permit from their school each year they are employed. A work permit application can be downloaded or picked up as soon as a student receives an offer of employment. Completed work permit application must be returned to the school for processing once completed. The turnaround time for processing is about 1-2 business days. 
 
All work permits expire five days after the opening of the next succeeding school year. Full-time exempt work permits issued to 14 and 15 year old's shall expire no later than the end of the current school year. EC 49118
 
A new work permit application will need to be issued to the student for the regular school year or summer. For students requesting to renew their work permit before the school year ends, please turn in a new work permit application starting the first week of June. Please note, new work permit applications are required if student changes job sites. Once a student turns 18, a work permit is no longer required.
 
During the school year, work permit applications can be picked up and turned in to the College and Career Center. Work permits for 2024-2025 will expire August 30, 2025
