What is a work permit, and where can I get one?

A work permit is a legal document required by the state of California that allows a person under 18 years of age to hold a job. You may get a work permit through the West Contra Costa Unified School District by following the permit application process below.

At what age can I get a work permit?

Minors aged 12 through 17 are required to get work permits before starting a job. No work permit is required for the following jobs: 1) certain agricultural industry jobs, 2) odd jobs in private homes such as gardening and babysitting, 3) newspaper delivery jobs, 4) casual work in a family-owned business, and 5) self-employment.

PLEASE NOTE:

A minor must obtain a work permit for each job. A work permit is no longer valid when a minor quits or leaves a job. A new work permit application must be filled out for each new job. In addition, all work permits in the state of California expire five days after the opening of school in the fall. This is to ensure that all minors report to school in the fall before continuing to work after summer vacation. Therefore, if a minor obtained a job and work permit in June and still had that same job in September, the work permit would expire. The minor would need to obtain a new work permit for the new school year, even though it was for the same continuing job.

At Salesian, we encourage all young people to take an active role in their community.  Whether it's through community service, extra curricular activities or staying up to date on current events; there are a lot of ways to get involved.  Voting is a great way to influence change on a local, state, and national level.  We hope all eligible students will take advantage of this opportunity and register or pre-register for future elections.
