Additional "Work Permit" Information:

A copy of the Work Permit should be given directly to the employer by the student. The employer will keep the copy on file until such time as employment is terminated. It is then the responsibility of the employer to notify the school district.

The employer may keep the copy of the permit if he desires.  However, the student maintains the original transferable permit at all times.

NOTE: In the event a Transferable Work Permit is lost, the student will need to secure a new one, repeating the process above.
