You do not need a work permit to look for a job, however, in order to comply with California Labor Laws, all minors under age 18 (including minors employed by parents) must have a work permit before your first day of work.

In order to be eligible for a work permit, the student must:

• have and maintain a 2.0 or higher GPA
• have and maintain a 90% attendance rate
• have and maintain less than 6 periods of truancy

Records will be reviewed regularly and work permits will be revoked for students who do not meet these requirements.

Keep in Mind: Work permits must be renewed at the start of each school year or at the the time a student obtains a new job.
