Work Permits
Every person under the age of 18 (even if it's one day until their birthday) is required, by law, to have a work permit.
Steps to obtaining a work permit:
1. WORK PERMIT APPLICATION - An application may be downloaded at any time or can be found in the College and Career Center. I encourage students to take them along on an interview in the event that they may be hired on the spot and it's easier to have the employer fill out their portion at this time.
2. PROCESSING - Bring the completed application to Ms.Stacy in the college and career center room 404. ALL information, including the student's social security number and parent signature, and employer information and signature MUST be completed to process. Processing is 72 business hours. Work permits cannot be processed over the weekends.
3. COMPLETION - After the work permit is issued, it is the student's responsibility to give it to the employer.
IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW
If passing all classes becomes unachievable, students may still work limited hours but must not have less than a 2.0 GPA and more than one F. Students must have satisfactory attendance and behavior. If a student is issued a work permit and their grades go down, the work permit could be revoked and the employer contacted to notify them of revocation.
Student's grades and attendance will be monitored every two weeks. If your grades or attendance are suffering you will be placed on probation and be given a certain amount of time to get your grades and attendance up. If that is not achieved, then the permit will be revoked.
Any employer violating the outlined hours listed on the work permit will have all work permits revoked until proper adjustments are made.
Parents/Guardians, if you feel it is in the best interest of your child to NOT work or if you feel your child's employer is breaking the law, please contact Ms.Stacy to resolve the issue.
