Employers in Argyll and Bute are being reminded that a work permit is required for all young people aged between 14 and 16 who work part-time while still at school.
Argyll and Bute Council is committed to the protection of children in employment, and has a number of byelaws which state the rules and regulations governing the employment of children – one of which is a valid work permit.
The work permit is free of charge and must be signed by the head teacher from the young person’s school, as well as a parental guardian and employer.
