How old do you have to be to get working papers in New Jersey?

Answer 1

Employment Certificates "Working Papers" Employers employing minors are required to complete the promise of employment section of the Employment Certificate. Minors must be at least 14 years of age to be employed in the state of New Jersey, with the exception of employment in agricultural work (which includes nursery work and the care of livestock), newspaper delivery and theatrical occupations. The child labor laws no longer apply when minors reach the age of 18. Complete the hours of work section, showing actual or approximate hours to be worked in the daily and weekly period. Although these hours may vary by week, an estimated schedule is necessary to ensure compliance with child labor laws. Complete the wage rate per hour section, except for nonpaid "internships" or volunteer activities under School-to- Careers (STC.) If liquor is sold for consumption on the premises, check the "yes" box and describe the area licensed where necessary. Keep in mind that minors under 18 years of age may not work in an establishment in which liquor is sold for consumption on the premises, with a few exceptions - see "prohibited occupations" section of this booklet for details. The remaining sections of the working papers are completed by others, such as school officials, and are returned to the school district's issuing officer. A copy is then submitted to Trenton for final approval. Employment certificates are required for all paid, structured, work-based learning opportunities offered to students under STC. It is also recommended for nonpaid STC activities that may involve work.

Answer 2

Working Papers are available at the public school of the district in which you reside.

All students between the ages of 14 and 17 are required by Pennsylvania School Law to secure an Employment certificate, known as "Working Papers," before they may begin to work. Students, who have reached 18, by state law, do not need working papers.

Exceptions to this regulation are 17 year old students who have graduated or have officially withdrawn from school.

Once you have the promise of a job, follow these steps to receive working papers:

• Obtain an "Application for Employment Certificate" or "Transferable Work Permit" from the Administration Building located at 1901 Paper Mill Road Oreland, PA 19075
• Have your prospective employer completely fill out Part "C".
• Have your physician fill out Part "D" verifying that you have had a physical that year.
• Bring the completed application along with proof of age to the Administration Building, Monday through Friday from 8:00 am to 3:30 pm

Acceptable documents include birth certificate or passport (application cannot be processed without proper documents). A parent or guardian must return the completed application so that it can be signed in the presence of the issuing officer.
