Work Permits
In the State of California, any minor enrolled in school needs a work permit to obtain a job and a parent must sign off in order for the school to issue. A work permit is required for the school year (August - May) and another for the summer (June & July), so if you work year round you will have to renew the permit based on the months you work.
