REMINDER ON WORK PERMITS FOR MINORS

Minors under 16 years old must obtain a work permit before beginning a job. This includes home-schoolers. They must get a new permit every time they begin a new job until they reach 16 years old, even if they work for their parents.

The application form can be downloaded at https://www.maine.gov/labor/labor_laws/minorsguide/ and the rules around employing young workers can be read there, too.

A work permit application must be signed by parents and the local school superintendent. The superintendent will submit the form to the Department of Labor.
