In accordance with State of Ohio regulations, students under the age of 18 must obtain a work permit before beginning employment. The work permit is a two-page document consisting of three sections that must be completed prior to office processing:
Student/Parent Section – to be completed and signed by the student and a parent/guardian.
Employer Section – to be completed by the prospective employer.
Physician’s Section – to be signed by a doctor verifying the student’s ability to work. Documentation of a physical completed within the past year, or a current physical on file in Final Forms, may be submitted in place of a physician’s signature.
After all sections are completed, the student should bring the document to the RHS office. Once it is processed, the student will receive an official copy of their work permit, authorizing them to begin employment.
