Q: My child is 15 and has been offered a part time job. Do they need permission to work?

A: Once a child reaches 13 years of age, then until the end of their compulsory education, they are allowed to work part-time - but within certain constraints. During a child's first week at work the employer is required to submit a work permit application form in order to legally register the child's employment with the local education authority in whose area the employment takes place.
