Hot topic? Work permit? please help!?

Question

hey, i'm sixteen and i filled out an application for hot topic, and there was a question that said do you have a work permit and are you eligible to show it blahblahblah and i didn't really get it so i just checked yes

and i really think the manager is going to hire me and i got employees to reccomend me and everything

i was wondering if any of you have worked at hot topic, or any retail store; do they actually even check if you have a work permit?

please answer!

and if so, how long does it usually take to get one, and how do i get it?

i can't go to my high school and get it because i dropped out

and am now attending adult classes

thank you

Answer 1

yess.. they eventually are going to need a work permit.. depending on the managers they might let you slide for a couple of weeks.. but its the LAW that anyone under the age of 18 needs a work permit.. since you arent going to a triditional highschool you can ju st go to your school district and tell them you live in the area and your story. blah blah blah and that you need a work permit to work.. DEPENDING ON THE SCHOOOL DISTRICT bcuz u have to have a certain gpa to keep the permit active.. just call them and talk to them about it..

depending on the school/school district.. im online schooled and it took like 30 minutes to fax them over everything.. but you have to have your employer/parents fill stuff out on it too..

You can get a work permit anywhere... I used to get mine from the office at high school. All you do is grab the paper and go to the doctor and have your doctor sign it saying you are healthy enough to work. Easy as ****.
