Instructions on how to obtain a work permit during school closure

Students need to secure a job before obtaining a work permit

A work permit is a legal document required by the state of California that allows a person under 18 years of age to hold a job. You must have good attendance and be academically eligible (2.0 GPA or Higher).

Students will print out the Form B1-1 Statement of Intent to Employ a Minor and Request for Work Permit-Certificate of Age.

1. Students will complete Minor’s Information and School Information.
2. Parent or legal guardians must sign their portion of the form.
3. Students must take Form B1-1 to their employer – the employer must complete and sign the employer section.

Students must scan and email completed Form  B1-1 with all signatures to their counselor, either Dana Blood, dblood@gormanlc.org, Jody Bolde, jbolde@gormanlc.org, or the counseling assistant Sharon Silva, ssilva@gormanlc.org. If a student does not have a scanner, download a scanner app such as Simple Scanner from their phone’s app store, take a photo of the completed document and email this document to the appropriate email.
5. Students must print the Permit to Employ and Work (Form B1-4), sign and date the “minor’s signature” section, then scan and email completed Permit to Employ and Work (Form B1-4) to their counselor or counseling assistant.
