What is a Work Permit?
A work permit is a document that students under 18 years of age must obtain after they have been offered employment. Work permits will be processed at the Pleasanton Unified School District Office located at 5758 W. Las Positas Blvd, 94566.
Do I Need a Work Permit during the school year?
Students working during the school year must have a work permit. The number of hours a student may work during the regular school year are listed on the application and on the issued work permit. Hours that can be worked are based on the student’s age.
Do I Need a Work Permit during the summer?
The work permit you obtain during the school year will be valid during the summer as well. If your employment is a summer job only, you will still need to get a work permit.
How long is the Work Permit valid?
All work permits issued will expire on or about September 1, one week after the opening of the school year. Other local requirements: Pleasanton Unified School District may decline issuance of a work permit based on GPA (minimum 2.0 GPA) and/or poor attendance.
What is the Work Permit procedure?
Students must have a job in order to get a work permit.
Students may download and print OR pick up the “STATEMENT OF INTENT TO EMPLOY MINOR AND REQUEST FOR WORK PERMIT” from the Pleasanton Unified School District Office. The minor completes the top section, including Social Security number. The employer completes the second section, making sure to print their name and include the business phone number. The parent completes and signs the third section. The final section is completed by the school district.
The work permit will be available for students to pick up (please allow up to 48 hours for processing) from the front desk at the Pleasanton Unified School District Office.
