Social Security Numbers on Work Permits

A B1-1 Form (Statement of Intent to Employ a Minor and Request for a Work Permit (Work Permit Application) must be fully filled out before a work permit can be processed (EC 49110) and that Intent to Employ form (B1-1) must have an SSN (EC 49163) on it. In California, the B1-1 serves a double purpose in that it is the “application” for the work permit and it also serves as the state’s version of the Certificate of Age (Title 5, California Code of Regulations, § 10120.1) which is a federal requirement of every state by the Fair Labor Standards Act (work permits are a state-level document only). The B1-4 must be produced with the SSN (EC 49115) Remember, it is also a legal document.

A reminder, CDE controls the forms B1-1 and B1-4 and no modifications are allowed (EC 49117, EC 49162).

You need to have a work permit before your first day on the job. 

Don't forget to

  1. Pick up your work permit from your school
  2. Give a copy of the permit to your employer

Students are expected to maintain a 2.0 or higher GPA and have acceptable attendance.  Beginning Fall 2021, students must have and maintain a 2.0 GPA with no more than one F and have satisfactory attendance to obtain and keep their work permit valid.  Students falling into either category (GPA lower than 2.0, more than 1 F and/or unsatisfactory attendance) will be issued a warning and have two weeks to improve.  If no improvement is made, work permit may be revoked.

PLEASE NOTE: Student must be present when picking up his/her completed work permit, as an original signature is required by the student. Incomplete applications will delay the processing of your Work Permit. Parents may not sign for students.

 

WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT ON YOUR FIRST DAY AT WORK

There are various forms to fill in on your first day at work. Here are a few:

W-4 Employee’s Withholding Allowance. This is a tax form. Your employer cannot give you any advice on how to fill it out. Before your first day, you might want to look at the form so you know what you need to do. The form tells the employer:

  • The number of withholding allowances the employee claims
  • Whether the employee wants an extra amount withheld
  • Whether the employee claims to be exempt from withholding
  • The form’s effective date

I-9 Employment Eligibility Verification Form. You’ll have to complete the I-9 form and provide paperwork showing you’re legally entitled to work in the United States. Everyone who works in the United States has to complete the I-9 form.

There are many types of documents you can use to verify your eligibility, too many to list here. For a list of acceptable documents, look at the last page of the I-9 form (link in Lesson Resources handout). Your documents must be original—copies are unacceptable.

Company-specific Forms. Many employers have a series of forms that are specific to company procedures. These may include:

  • Company handbook acknowledgment
  • Drug test consent agreement
  • Confidentiality agreement
