Working papers are divided into two age groups (14–15 and 16–17):
14–15-Year-Olds
Your working papers are blue. If you are 14 or 15 years old, you are issued these working papers because you are not allowed to work in a factory.
16–17-Year-Olds (in school)
Your working papers are green. The difference between 14–15-year-old working papers and 16–17-year-old working papers is that you are allowed to work in a factory. You cannot work around certain machines, do construction work, help on a motor vehicle, clean, oil, wipe, or adjust belts on machinery.
18+
Working papers are not necessary.
Stop by the College and Career Center (room 155) or see your school nurse to get your working papers.
