During the Regular School Year:
 
By state and federal law, all students under age 18 must have a valid work permit to be employed (including vacations and summer break).  Also, all existing Work Permits must be renewed at the start of each school year.  In accordance with the State Education Code 49164, students are required to be in good academic standing and good citizenship.  This will be defined by having no more than (2) No Marks at the most recent Quarter Grade or Semester Report Card and having discipline and attendance records signed off by administration.   If work permits are denied for not meeting the grade requirements, students and/or parents can have their application reviewed with administration for a possible probationary authorization on a case by case basis.     

Steps to obtaining a Work Permit:
1. Pick up a green Work Permit Application outside of the College and Career Center or Download and complete the work permit application. Complete all fields including the student information with social security number, parent signature, and employer information and signature. Per state law, all signatures must be original, ink signatures
 
2. Original work permit applications with ink signatures should be submitted in the College and Career Center. Work permit processing can take up to two school days, after which the student should return to pick up the completed work permit during Break, PAWS or Lunch. Please keep in mind that the student must be the one to pick up the work permit as an original ink signature must be obtained from the student at that time.
             
3. Provide the signed work permit to your employer.
Work permits are issued for up to one year and expire every August despite what time of year the initial request was granted.  

Permits may be revoked at any time if attendance, grades and graduation requirements are not being met.
 
If you have work permit questions, please email Mrs. Bonnell at bbonnell@rocklinusd.org 
 
 
Work Permits cannot be granted if a student is to be classified as an "independent contractor" and paid.
 
A work permit is only issued to minors who have an employer and they are accepting the responsibilies of the minor as their employee.

 
 
 
At the Beginning of every New School Year....

At the Beginning of every New School Year....

If you already have a job and will continue on with it through the 2023/2024 school year, you need to reapply for a new work permit. A work permit for those under 18 years of age are for one school year only. So..... please stop by the College & Career Center, pick up a new form, fill it out completely and turn it in to me or the drop box inside the library. 
Hope to see you soon!
I'm 18, so......

I'm 18, so......

Well, you are not required to have a work permit once you turn 18 years old, but keep in mind that you are still in high school and that is a priority!
