OHIO – As the school year approaches, the Ohio Department of Commerce is reminding students adn their families about the requirements for continuing summer jobs into the academic year. Teenagers aged 14, 15, 16, and 17 are required to have a Minor Work Permit to legally work in Ohio.
Many teens take on summer employment to earn extra income, but maintaining that job through the school year requires obtaining the proper permit. officials emphasize that students must first secure a job offer before applying for a permit, as the application requires specific details about the job and it’s duties.

“The work permit process is designed to ensure Ohio’s young workers have safe and supportive employment experiences.We are committed to helping families navigate each step, so teens can start their jobs confidently and parents can feel assured that state safeguards are in place,” said Stephen Clegg, Wage & Hour Administration Bureau Chief.
