§ 49120 Summer Work Permit Eligibility

Key Takeaways

  • •Kids can't be denied a work permit just because of bad grades or missing school.
  • •This only applies if the job is part of a government training program.
  • •The job must happen during summer break, not during the school year.

Example

A student with low grades wants a summer job through a city youth program.

The school can't say no to the work permit just because of the student's grades or attendance, as long as the job is part of a government program and happens during summer vacation.
