Does a minor need a work permit if he or she keeps the same job from school year to school year? What about summer jobs?
Yes. Work permits grant permission from the school district for a minor to work. A minor needs to have a work permit issued to them by the school district every school year and during the summer. Work permits must include information about the specific employer and employer’s address, and must document the maximum amount of hours a minor may work, the range of hours, and any occupational limitations or other restrictions imposed at the school district’s discretion. Work permits expire five days after the opening of the next school year and must be renewed.
