Work Permits

• Students must have a job in order to get a work permit.
• Students may pick up the form “STATEMENT OF INTENT TO EMPLOY MINOR AND REQUEST FOR WORK PERMIT” from the Pleasanton Unified School District Office, or download and print here. The minor completes the top section, including Social Security number. The parent completes and signs the second section. The employer completes the third section, making sure to print their name and include the business phone number. The final section is completed by the school district.
• The student will pick up their work permit at the district office after they receive an email indicating its ready. Please allow two business days for processing.

Students working during the school year must have a work permit. The number of hours a student may work during the regular school year are listed on the application and on the issued work permit. Hours that can be worked are based on the student’s age.

The work permit you obtain during the school year will be valid during the summer as well. If your employment is a summer job only, you will still need to get a work permit.

All work permits issued will expire on or around Sept. 1, one week after the opening of the school year. Other local requirements: Pleasanton Unified School District may decline issuance of a work permit based on GPA (minimum 2.0 GPA) and/or poor attendance.

Theatrical Work Permits including the entertainment industry and modeling must be obtained by a parent/guardian directly from the California State Labor Commissioner at 1515 Clay Street, Room 801, Oakland, CA 94612.

Please send a note requesting an application for this entertainment industry-specific type of work permit and a self-addressed, stamped envelope to the above address.

The application must be brought to the school district for processing certain information. The completed application may then be mailed back to the Oakland office by the parent with a self-addressed, stamped envelope. The special work permit will be mailed to you. For more info, call (510) 622-3273 and select “0” for a representative.
