Minor Work Permit

APPLICATION FOR MINOR WORK PERMIT

State Law requires that all minors, persons under the age of 18, who are in paid employment must have a valid Work Permit during the school year, and 14- to 15-year olds must obtain age and school certificates for employment at all times of the year.

An application for a work permit must be completed prior to obtaining a work permit. Applications may be downloaded or picked up from the main office at Berkshire High School.  The application is to be submitted in person to Mrs. Maryalice Horton, Secretary, located in the high school office.
