How To Get Working Papers Nj

New Work Permit Procedures (Working Papers)
As students approach the age of employment it is important for all students from the ages of 14 up to 18

years to know that there are procedures for obtaining NJ working permits. It is a paper application that contains all the student's and employer's information along with proper signatures. Please read the directions below carefully so all permits can be issued in a timely fashion.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR OBTAINING A NEW JERSEY WORK PERMIT
A New Jersey work permit is required if a minor plans on working for an employer in the state of New Jersey.

Work permits will be ready for pickup 48 hours after the completed application is dropped off to Ms. Milos, so students need to plan accordingly.

Teens cannot apply for a Work Permit until they have gotten a job offer.

In New Jersey, any teen (14 up to 18 years of age), is required to have a Work Permit before they begin work. This is because the application for a Work Permit requires details from the employer, including the proposed occupation and work description. When the permit is issued it will allow the minor to perform certain and specific duties for a particular employer. If the minor changes jobs, a new work permit must be obtained. The work permit does not expire; however, it is not transferable to another employer or another job with the same employer. The validated work permit, with the Issuing Officer's signature must be in the employer's possession before the minor is permitted to work.
