Work Permit Procedures
1. Standard 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. The issuance of work permits are conditional upon satisfactory school attendance and academic performance. Please follow these steps to obtain an official work permit:
- For employment as a minor, you will need to complete the personal information on this CDE Form B1-1 and print a copy to be signed by your employer.
- Return the signed copy to your educational facilitator who will forward the form (along with a statement regarding satisfactory attendance and academic performance) to the appropriate iLEAD school administrator who issues permits. Please include the home address where the final form should be mailed.
- Once verified, an official work permit will be issued for the learner to sign and provide to the employer. This permit will be mailed within 2-3 business days.
2. Entertainment Industry Work Permit
The issuance of entertainment industry work permits are conditional upon satisfactory school attendance and academic performance. Please follow these steps to complete an application for permission to work in the entertainment industry:
- Download the DLSE-277 form from the internet.
- Complete the personal information portion (but do not sign yet), and indicate whether or not your child requires medical approval to obtain a permit.
- Return the form to your educational facilitator who will forward the form (along with a statement regarding satisfactory attendance and academic performance) to the appropriate iLEAD school administrator who issues permits. Please include the home address where the final form should be mailed.
- Once verified, the permit will be signed and mailed within 2-3 business days.
- Upon receipt of the work permit that has been signed by the school administrator, please sign the work permit (so both signatures are wet).
