work permit?

Question

so i am applying for a job at the local grocery store and it says in the application:
"if you are under 18, can you furnish a work permit?"

what does the word "furnish" mean in this context? does it mean "obtain"?

Answer 1

You can possibly get a much better info on the work permit at your " City Hall ",
This ' may be more info than you want '. I got this from:
http://www.dwd.state.wi.us/er/labor_standards_bureau/work_permits.htm

To obtain a work permit, the minor or parent must visit the permit officer, taking with them the minor's birth certificate or other proof of age, social security card, hiring statement from the employer, explaining job duties, hours of work, written parents consent and a $5.00 fee. We may accept a valid operator’s license or an identification card issued by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation as proof of a minor’s age. This means that we may now accept either a duly attested birth certificate, a verified baptismal certificate, or a driver’s license or photo ID card issued by the Department of Transportation. The $5.00 fee for the permit must be reimbursed to the minor by the employer at the end of the first pay period. Copies of the permit go to the employer and the minor, in addition to the school district where the minor is enrolled.

It does look like a ' hassle ', This type of ' system ' is designed to protect the young people in entering into the work force.

good luck.
