My child is applying for a part time job and was told that he or she needs a work permit. What is this and where does he or she get one?

Category: Public Schools
All children under the age of 18 are required by State law to have a work permit. Your daughter should go to the Chelsea Public Schools’ Business Office at Chelsea City Hall, Room 110, between 2:45 pm and 4:00 pm to obtain a Work Permit Application. The application is also available online on the Chelsea Schools' website under "High School" and then "Guidance". This application must be signed by a parent and given to your child's prospective employer to complete. When this has been done, bring the application back to the Business Office with a current utility bill, your child's birth certificate, and a current report card or current progress report from his or her school. If your child is age 14 or 15, a copy of his or her latest physical must be brought to the Business Office, or your child's doctor will also required to sign the work permit application. If the student is age 16 or over, the doctor’s signature or physical is not required.
