WORK PERMITS FOR YOUTH

Minors under 16 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, even if they work for their parents. Applications can be downloaded at https://www.maine.gov/labor/labor_laws/minorsguide/ and the rules for employing young workers can be read there. An application must be signed by parents and the local school superintendent. Superintendents submit the form to the Department of Labor.
