This depends on the type of home employment. The DLSE shall issue an Industrial Home-Workers Permit for the reasons of manufacturing goods in the home (LC sections 2650 and 2660). All industrial Home-Worker employment sites shall be free of infectious, contagious, or communicable disease, and shall be clean, sanitary, and free from infectious, contagious, or communicable disease (LC Section 2661). Minors employed with In-Home Support Services (IHSS) through the Department of Social Services are employees of a governmental agency and therefore, are not required to obtain a “Permit to Employ and Work”. However, federal law requires that all minors possess a Certificate of Age, which is fulfilled with the completion of the “Statement of Intent to Employ and Request for Work Permit” (EC 49114; 29 CFR Section 212).
