Work Permit Application Process

SUMMER WORK PERMIT PROCESSING

 

If you received a work permit during the school year, it will be valid during the summer. Your employer can refer to the "School Not in Session" portion of the permit for the number of hours that you are allowed to work.

 

If you are requesting a NEW Work Permit during the summer, you will not need to have your work permit application signed by your school. All Work Permit requests are processed at the District office. 

 

Please follow the directions below to obtain a Work Permit:

 

  1. You must have been hired for a job
  2. Download a Work Permit Application
  3. Complete the "Minor's Information" and "School Information" sections of the application.
  4. Have your parent/guardian fill out the "Parent" section.
  5. Take the application to the employer that hired you and have them fill out the "Employer" section. (Since the Work Permit is made out to your employer, we will not process applications without the EMPLOYER section filled out)
  6. Carefully review your application to assure that everything is clear and legible.
  7. Then, bring the application in-person to the work permit offices for processing. We are located at 9401 S. Painter Ave, Whittier, CA 90605 (BUILDING U on the campus map). Our offices are open Monday-Friday, 12:00pm-4:00pm. We will be closed June 19th and July 4th. This process is quick and you are out the door with the official permit within minutes!
