Answers to Frequently Asked Questions Related to Work Permits for Minors The Pennsylvania Department of Education PDE understands that the mandated closure of Pennsylvania schools due to the COVID response effort may be causing some uncertainty for the remainder of the school year, particularly for minors who wish to apply for a work permit and for school district personnel responsible for issuing work permits.
PDE will update this document with additional guidance as needed. Page last updated: 10 a. Does a student need a work permit before they have a job? School districts are responsible for issuing work permits, even when school is closed. The steps below describe the temporary modified procedures. Students unable to access the electronic application should call or write to the school district to request that a paper application be mailed to them.
The student's parent or legal guardian electronically signs the PDF or signs the paper application. NOTE: Not all students need approval from a parent or guardian to apply for a work permit. For example, no signature is required if the minor provides official proof that they have graduated high school.
The student attaches any required documents, such as a proof of age document, to the completed application and submits it to the school district. If applying electronically, the student may attach digital copies, such as a scan or digital photograph. If applying by mail with a paper application, the student should include photocopies of the required documents.
If an applicant is unable to provide a required document with their application, they can present it to the school district issuing officer at the next stage of the process. Please be aware that all required documentation must still be submitted and reviewed; the temporary change relates only to the format in which those documents may be submitted to, and accepted by, the school district.
Upon receipt of the application and documentation, the issuing officer at the school district schedules an appointment with the student that adheres to social distancing guidelines. Appointments may be held virtually by way of videoconference. Social distancing also could be observed with a solid barrier between the issuing officer and applicant, such as a closed car window or clear glass door.
The purpose of the appointment is to enable the applicant to "appear before" the issuing officer, in accordance with the Child Labor Act, while following social distancing guidelines. It also enables the issuing officer to verify a proof of age document if one is required but the student was not able to provide a copy with the application.
The school district issuing officer ensures that all the documents required by law have been examined, approved and filed, and all conditions and requirements for issuing a permit have been fulfilled, and then mails to the minor a wallet-sized, paper work permit bearing a number, the date of issuance, and signature of the issuing officer.
Documentation requirements for the employment of minors are established by each state's department of labor. There are no federal requirements that mandate minors get working papers before starting employment, but some states require them. Federal law does set guidelines for when minors can work, as well as for what jobs they can do.
The rules vary based on the age of the minor and the job they would be working. Exceptions include jobs such as babysitting, chores, delivering newspapers, and a few others. The number of hours per week you can work is limited based on your age. Those hours vary based on school days, school weeks, and between June 1 and Labor Day. The FLSA also bans minors from certain occupations considered hazardous, such as coal mining, using balers and compactors, roofing work, operating certain power-driving machines, and more.
Additionally, many states have their own child labor laws with higher minimum ages than the FLSA. In these cases, the higher minimum age always applies. Consult your state department of labor for more information about child labor laws in your area. Depending on where you live, you may need a work permit before you can start a job. Some states require work permits for those younger than 16, while others require them for anyone younger than Some states don't require them at all.
The best place to find out if you need working papers is your school guidance office or your state department of labor website. If you need working papers, the counselors can either give you the form you will need to complete or tell you where to get it.
If you find out you need working papers, you may be able to get these from your school guidance office. You can also get them through your state department of labor by visiting the office, searching their website, or calling or emailing the office. Requirements vary from state to state, but in general, here's what you will need to get a work permit and to get it approved:.
