General information about work permits:
Work permits are designed to help protect you and ensure school is coming first!
You must have a work permit from your high school, and are under 18, in order to have a job. See the summary chart for hours allowed to work by age. Students have restricted working hours depending on their age. Serves as an age certificate- state the maximum hours a minor may work.
Students must review their work permits annually: at the start of school or when a student obtains a new job.
You must attend school full time (except for summer vacation) and cannot be truant.
All minors must be covered by Workers’ Compensation, including minors employed by businesses operating from a private residence.
It is illegal for your employer to fire or punish you for reporting a workplace problem.
For additional information visit the California Department of Education’s Work Permits for Students page.
