Ok i recently got denied a job because I was a minor. I have heard though that you can get a job as a minor if you have a work permit or the employer petitions you to work 40 hrs. If that true? what are the laws? Can i get a work permit? I need details. Please

I know in michigan a minor needs a work permit issued by the high school counselor and they are only allowed to work like 20-25 hours a week.

if you are under 16 and in the state of Washington you can not work more then: 3 hours a day on a school day and not during normal school hours no more then 8 hours on a non-school day 16 hours a week while school is in session 40 hours a week when school is out of session never before 7am not past 7pm while school is in session or 9pm while school is out of session never more then 6 days a week if you are between the age of 14 and 18 you must have a work permit which you obtain usually through the school system. if you are between 16 and 18 your hours allowed to work are much more flexible but still not 40 hours a week. with a special variance you can work up to 6 hours a day on school days and a total of 28 hours a week. for more info about permits, hours you can work, job suggestions, interview information etcetera go to "youthrules" there are links for teens, employers, parents and educators for each state. http://www.youthrules.dol.gov/ different companies have different policies about hiring minors so just apply the worse thing that can happen is they say no. when you go dress neat, clean, and appropriately for the business, be polite and ask for an application and the appropriate time to bring it back. you will need references so talk to teachers, ministers, anyone you have done casual labor for, friends parents etcetera be sure to ask if you can use them as a reference and let them know to expect calls from employers. the following link is to a copy of the work permit that you and your parent/gaurdian must fill out and present to the school: http://www.lni.wa.gov/Forms/pdf/700002af.pdf
