Happy Autumn! 

     I hope you're all enjoying the lovely fall weather.  I know we love watching the trees put on their colorful coats and then shed them, seemingly overnight.  It was very windy yesterday, and there is a brand new, colorful carpet awaiting us. 

     Below is a portion of this week's HSLDA e-mail - they now offer a summary of work requirements, so we'll all know what to do with our teens when they want a job   Apparently, this summary is just for HSLDA members, though I think it should be made available to everyone.  Oh, well...if you're not a member of HSLDA, maybe you can find a friend who is and they can look up the info for you

                          Have Fun!

5. Work Permit Requirements for Children Now Available to Members

When children begin working outside of the home, many parents are confused by employers’ requests for permits, especially when told that the permits must be issued by a public school official. Hourly work restrictions and occupation prohibitions can also be confusing. For these reasons, HSLDA unveiled this week a new resource for members—a summary for each of the 50 states’ child labor and work permit laws.

Members can access this resource through the Forms and Other Resources page or through the State Laws page.
