Work Permit

Work Permit Application: 

California Department of Education (CDE) has stated clearly all minors under 18 years old employed in the state of California MUST have a work permit ( You may find exemption in  FAQ section, Q36).

 

A couple highlights in getting a minor work permit:

 

• Minors may only work at physical brick and mortar businesses (Ed Code 49163). Thus NO online/remote work is allowed.

 

• All signatures  MUST be  wet signatures, no electronic/scanned signatures allowed

 

•  Mission San Jose high school minor work permit policy:

• • Students must have and maintain a 2.0 GPA to obtain & keep a work permit, not be failing a class.
  • Student must have good attendance.

 

Minor work permit process flow:

1. You can either pick up a form in the College & Career Center, or print the form from this link: "Work Permit Application Form"

 

2. Complete the signatures in Student, Parent and Employement sections.

 

3. Return the complete form to the College & Career Center,          you will be informed the pick up time.
