Frequently Asked Questions
In New York State, anyone under 18 must show an employment certificate before they may begin work. Many people call this “working papers." Students wishing to obtain working papers should come to the Main Office and speak to the Receptionist. They will be handed an application sheet, fill out the top portion and have their parent sign it at the top. They also need to have proof of a current physical (within the last year). If they had their physical done through our Health Office, our Nurse can sign and date their form; otherwise, they must bring proof from their Doctor's office when they return their application. At that point, the Receptionist can process the application and hand them their Employment Certificate.
