Work Permit Process

• Applications may be printed from the link here: Application for Work Permit (pa.gov), Or picked up in the schools main office.
• The applicant must "appear before" the issuing officer, in accordance with the Child Labor Act. This also enables the issuing officer to verify a proof of age document.
• The student will sign the work permit when received and shows it to the employer, who makes a copy for their records. The student retains the original work permit.
