Work Permits General Information
Except in limited circumstances defined in law and summarized in the child labor law booklet, all minors under 18 years of age employed in the state of California must have a permit to work. For more information please refer to the following link: State of Ca. Department of Industrial Relations
Prior to permitting a minor to work, employers must possess a valid permit to employ and work. The permit to employ and work are issued on the same form. Typically, after an employer agrees to hire a minor, the minor obtains from his or her school a Department of Education form entitled "Statement of Intent to Employ Minor and Request for Work Permit". The form must be completed by the minor and the employer and signed by the minor's parent or guardian and the employer. After returning the completed and signed form to the school, school officials may issue the permit to employ and work.
The Aeries Work Permit form provides the school with work standards permitted by the state for a student according to their age. The Work Permit form allows the school to keep track of the students that have work permits, when they were issued, when they expire and the employer information.
