    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'm having the same trouble. The only places that will really hire this young are either fast food places or the snack bar at the local pool (and even then you have to be a member). It's really rare to find any better place that will hire a 14-year-old. Keep looking and good luck, fellow job-hunter!!

    Has anyone looked at how much it costs to see a movie these days or how much a CD goes for?! Parents want kids to use their own $$$ for these things. How can we be responsible with our cash if there's no way to earn any at 13 and 14 years of age. It costs so much to entertain ourselves these days, and employers should realize the needs of "pre-teen America"!!!

    Hey ya'll~!~! I am 13 years old and i have been wanting to get a summer job so I don't sit around staring at the television or sitting on the computer. I also think that if I get a job I could get some new clothes and my mom wouldn't have to pay for them.
