Work Permits

For Students Under The Age of 18

To obtain a minor work permit, please follow these steps:

1. Obtain the two pre-application forms:

  • Application for Minor Work Permit (which also includes the Pledge of the Employer Form)
  • Physician Certificate for Minor Work Permit Form, if required by the employer

Students may download the Minor Work Permit Pre-Application Form or email Ms. Grafton in the Counseling Department.

2. A certified copy or original Birth Certificate is kept on file at Ursuline as part of the student’s original registration, so there is no need for further proof of age.

3. The pre-application form must then be completed in its entirety by each party and signed. The Employer’s Tax ID number is mandatory, as is the actual hours and days the employer expects the student to work. These times and days are approved by the State of Ohio when the information is entered into the work permit website by the school official.

4. The student should email the completed forms to Ms. Grafton in the Counseling Department. The designated school person will process the Minor Work Permit through the State of Ohio website. Once the work permit has been approved, the student may sign the issued work permit and take to her employer.

Note: For these forms the school district is The Archdiocese of Cincinnati and the school building is Ursuline Academy.
