Instructions
for Completing and Issuing CA-6 Work Permit and Age Certificate
Who
needs a CA-6 Work Permit?
All teenagers must have a work permit, unless exempt from the Youth
Employment Standards Act (P.A. 90 of 1978). This completed form permits
a minor to be employed only by the employer listed in part I. CA-6 work
permits are valid until the minor turns 18 or graduates as long as the
minor works for the same employer. Employers must complete a CA-7 for
a minor who starts employment at 16 or 17 years of age.
Who
issues work permits?
The issuing officer is the superintendent of the school district or
intermediate school district or the authorized designee in each high
school.
Employment
of minors.
A person under 18 years of age shall not be employed in, about, or in
connection with an occupation which is hazardous or injurious to the
minor's health or personal well-being or which is contrary to standards
established by State and Federal Acts. The minimum age for employment
is 14 years of age, except that a minor 11 years of age may be employed
as a golfcaddy, and a minor 13 years of age or older may be employed
in some farming occupations.
Hours
of work:
Minors 14 and 15 years of age may work no more than:
- Six days in
1 week.
- Three hours
a day while school is in session (only after school and until 7:00
p.m.)
- No more than
eight hours a day on non-school days.
- Forty hours
in one week (during non-school weeks). Minors 14 and 15 years of age
may work until 9:00 p.m. during school summer vacation (June 1-Labor
Day), but not before 7:00 a.m. A student minor shall not be employed
more than a combined school-work week of 48 hours.
