Work Permits

California Work Permit Information for Minors

  • Eligibility: A 2.0 GPA is required for a work permit. Quarter grades are used to determine eligibility, not cumulative GPA.

  • Application: Pick up a work permit application at the Counseling Office (Mon-Fri, 8 a.m. - 4 p.m.). Use the form provided by BHS (not employer’s form). Complete both sides with your parents and employer.

  • Submitting: Drop off the completed application at the Counseling Office (Mon-Fri, 8 a.m. - 4 p.m.). Allow 1 school day for processing.

  • Pick Up: Work permits are available for pick-up before/after school or during lunch only. Do not come during passing period because you can be marked truant.

  • Renewal: If you're still working at the same place, renew your permit with the renewal form from the Counseling Office. No new application needed.
