    printer friendly version

    Question:

    How old do I have to be and where can I get a work permit?



    Answer:

    The Industrial Commission may, by regulation, declare ay occupation to be dangerous, or injurious to the health and morals of persons under sixteen years of age and prohibit the employment or allowance to work in, about or in connection with the occupations by such persons unless a variance is granted. There are many restrictions for minors under 18 years of age The best course of action is to contact the Director of Labor at the Industrial Commission in your state. For Arizona the Industrial Commission numbers are 602-542-4653 or 602-542-4515. Explain your situation and what type of work you are seeking. Your potential employers and perhaps you also, will probably need to fill out some paperwork (application for variation) depending on the type of job, the number of hours, and environment that the job is located in.

    I am going to be thirteen in june and I an tired of only getting twenty bucks every week and only getting one pair of jeans from the mall. I think it should be up to the persons parents on how old they have to be but there should still be a law it should be at the age of ten

    Dude its a bunch of bull that yall people think were too young to handle a job. I mean come on let us do something we need money to do stuff. Besides parents always want us to learn some responsibility, and having a job is a perfect way to prove it. Man yall are treating us bad by not giving us the right to work. I thought this was the land of the free. Come on just let us work. If any of us get hurt on the job then thats our fault. Make us sign something in case of an emergency. This sucks not being able to have a job. So just please let us. Peace,
