Statement of intent to employ a minor and request for a work permit – certificate of age
Students who attend Sweetwater Union High School District are required to obtain a work permit if they are under 18 years old, and have secured paid employment. The work permit is required by CA Education Code and is enforced by the CA State Labor Department. Sweetwater Union High School District students must meet and maintain 2.0 G.P.A. (grade point average) and attend school regularly and on time to obtain and keep a work permit.
Students who have graduated from high school are not required to have a work permit.
Work permits will be processed at the school site where the SUHSD student is enrolled and attends. Charter and private school students may obtain a work permit from their school where they are enrolled and attend.
