NEW WORK PERMITS NEEDED FOR SCHOOL YEAR
SAN DIEGO -- As the 2011-2012 school year begins, working minors and their
employers are reminded of the state law that requires any employee less
than 18 years of age who has not graduated from high school or passed the
California High School Proficiency Examination to have a Permit to Employ
and Work.
Minors are responsible for obtaining this work permit application and
employers are required to terminate the employment for any minor for whom
they do not have an active work permit.
Minors who have graduated from high school or passed the California
proficiency exam may give a copy of their high school diploma or
proficiency exam certificate to their employer in lieu of a work permit.
Minors who have not fulfilled one of these requirements must be enrolled
in school in order to have a work permit application processed. A passing
score on the California High School Exit Exam (CAHEE) does not exempt
minors from work permit requirements.
All current work permits expire on September 13, following the start of
the new school year on September 6. The expiration date is indicated on
all permits.
Students may obtain application forms, or get information about work
permits and child labor laws, at any high school, or contact the
district¹s work permit office at (858) 627-7355, or see the website at
