Summary of Virginia’s Child Labor Laws

To employ a teenager in Virginia, an employer must comply with the Commonwealth’s child labor
laws, which are found in the Code of Virginia at §§ 40.1-78 through 40.1-116. This pamphlet summarizes
the major requirements of these laws. If you have questions not covered by this pamphlet, call
one of the offices listed here or visit our Web site at http://www.doli.state.va.us.

In addition, in areas where classifications and examples are used, the pamphlet only highlights the
occupations or areas that most frequently arise as questions. You should always visit our Web site to
obtain a current, complete version of the law and regulations.

A. Work Permits Are Required
In Virginia, every teenager 14 or 15 years of
age must have an employment certificate
(work permit) to work at a job. The only
exceptions to this requirement are listed
below.

Exceptions: Jobs For Which Work

Permits Are Not Required
1. On farms, in gardens, and in orchards
that are operated by a parent or
guardian.
2. Work around the home for parents.
3. Volunteer work.
4. Non-manufacturing jobs where a parent
owns the business.
5. Page or clerk for either the House of
Delegates or Senate of Virginia.
6. Occasional work around someone else’s
home, such as yard work.
7. Work performed for state or local government.

Minimum Age

With certain limited exceptions, children
under the age of fourteen are not permitted
to work. Therefore, children under fourteen
are not issued work permits.

Who Issues Work Permits

Work permits may be obtained at most public
high schools and many private schools.
Students who are home schooled should visit
the nearest high school in order to obtain a
work permit. In addition, students who live
out of state during the school year must wait
until they arrive in Virginia to obtain a work
permit. They may also visit the nearest high
school once they arrive in Virginia.

How to Obtain a Work Permit

Teenagers can get the forms they need from
their local school. These forms are:
(1) Intention to Employ: This form is filled out
by the employer. The employer must
state clearly the kind of work the teenager
will be performing, the number of days
per week, the number of hours per day,
and the amount of time given for lunch
periods.
(2) Permission for Employment: This form is
filled out by the parent. It is best if the
teenager and parent go together to the
school to sign the form. If necessary the
parent may submit a notarized statement
giving permission for the teenager to
work.

Along with these two forms, the teenager
should bring evidence of his or her age, such
as:
1. Birth certificate
2. Baptismal record
3. Insurance policy at least one year old
4. School record
5. Passport

Answer 2

We have some people here that have never worked. I think Va. is one of the easiest states in the U.S. to get food stamps and crap. If you are too young to work just go by the unemployment office and file a claim - you will probally get more than working!!!!! At least you are trying but unfortunately the age problem is something to contend with. Even the farmers cant hire kids anymore - we have to save something for the amnesty seeking illegals to do right???
