WHAT A HEADACHE!
Is this what CA youth’s have to do in order to get a job?
The paperwork steps that are involved for under-18 employment are the youth must find an employer that will agree to hire and the prospective employee must then go to his or her school district office (usually school office) and acquire a Statement of Intent to Employ Minor and Request for Work Permit. This paper is taken to the employer to fill out. The youth, employer, potential supervisor and parent must all sign this paper which informs the state what business and type of work the youth will be doing. The youth then takes this paper back to the district office. The district office may then issue the Permit to Employ and Work paper, which a copy of is returned to the employer before the youth can be hired. There is no law which requires school authorities to issue a permit for maximum hours allowed by law.
…Students attending charter schools and private schools obtain the work permit paperwork from their school sites. Home school or out-of-town visiting youths get their permits from the school district that they are residing in.
I really don’t like that “may” part. Homeschoolers having to ask a favor of edu-crats can lead to trouble. Just look at New York.
