- (1) Before employing a minor, an employer must obtain a minor work permit endorsement approved by the department and issued by the state business licensing service. An employer must obtain and keep a current minor work permit endorsement for each location where minors are employed. A single minor work permit endorsement will authorize the employer to employ any number of minor workers at the location specified on the business license with the minor work permit endorsement.
- (2) Minor work permit endorsements may include restrictions, consistent with this chapter, on minors' working conditions.
- (3) A minor work permit endorsement shall expire on the last day of the month one year from the date of issue, or upon the expiration date shown on the employer's most recently issued business license document, whichever comes first.
