Key Takeaways

  • •Work permits and age certificates for kids can be checked by school or work officials at any time.
  • •These permits can be canceled if the rules for getting them weren’t followed or don’t exist anymore.
  • •A work permit will be taken away if the job is hurting the kid’s health, schoolwork, or if they’re breaking any work rules.

Example

A 16-year-old has a work permit to work at a fast-food restaurant after school.

If a school official checks the permit and finds out the kid is working too many hours and their grades are dropping, the permit can be canceled to protect the kid’s education.

§ 49164 Work Permit Inspection Authority

Permits to work and to employ and certificates of age shall always be open to inspection by supervisors of attendance, probation officers, designees of the Labor Commissioner, and by officers of the Superintendent of Public Instruction. Every permit to work or to employ and every certificate of age shall be subject to cancellation at any time by the Superintendent of Public Instruction, the Labor Commissioner, or by the person issuing the permit or certificate whenever any person authorized to inspect such permits and certificates finds that the conditions for the legal issuance of the permit or certificate of age do not exist or did not exist at the time the permit or certificate was issued. A permit to work shall be revoked by the issuing authority when he is satisfied that the employment of the minor is impairing the health or education of the minor, or that any provision or condition of the permit is being violated, or that the minor is performing work in violation of any provision of law. (Enacted by Stats. 1976, Ch. 1010.)
