Working Papers

Except in limited circumstances, all Connecticut children (i.e., minors) under the age of 18 must have Working Papers if they are applying for a job. The purpose of Working Papers is to ensure the safety of children in the workplace by:

• properly documenting the minor’s age;

• ensuring that minors are employed in occupations that are acceptable under the law; and

• ensuring that working conditions and hours will not interfere with the minors’ education or put their safety at risk.

For any student interested in obtaining working papers from the RHS Student Life Office, identification and a Promise of Employment Letter must be submitted.
