A work permit is required before anyone under the age of 16 is allowed to work in any job except agriculture or domestic service work. The Department of Workforce Development's Equal Rights Division has developed a new online work permit application tool. Allowing parents of minors to obtain work permits 24 hours a day, 7 days a week from any computer, tablet, smartphone, or similar device. The application is live now. A parent can access the site using these instructions. Payment is made directly to the department through the application, using a credit or debit card, or by ACH direct withdrawal. Once the permit application process is complete, the Department mails a paper copy of the permit directly to the employer. The old system will continue to be operational until June 30, 2023.
