INSTRUCTIONS FOR OBTAINING A WORK PERMIT

CLICK HERE FOR THE APPLICATION

The state of Ohio requires a work permit for all students under the age of 18 who are employed.

If you are employed in West Virginia (even though you are a St. Clairsville High School student), you must secure a work permit from the state of WV at the Ohio County School Board office in Elm Grove.

  • The student needs to complete the Student/Applicant Information section.

  • The parent/guardian must sign the Student/Applicant Information section.

  • The employer needs to complete and sign the Pledge of Employer section.

  • The student must be present when the permit is issued and have identification.

IF YOUR EMPLOYER REQUIRES YOU TO HAVE A PHYSICAL, have your doctor complete the physician’s form.

When the form is completed, please bring it to the Administration Building located at 108 Woodrow Avenue. A work permit will be issued to be taken to the employer.
