Pupil work permits.

Existing law authorizes specific school administrators to issue a work permit to pupils subject to specific requirements, including requiring certain information to be included on a notification of intent to employ a minor, provided to the administrator by an employer. This bill would specifically authorize an employer to employ a minor subject to the above-described provisions to work partially or exclusively online. The bill would require the State Department of Education to prepare an informed consent form, signed by the parent or guardian of the minor, identifying the potential dangers to the minor of online work for any minor who will be performing work partially or exclusively online. The bill would require, as part of the above-described notification, the above-described signed informed consent form and information about whether the work will be performed online or at a jobsite. The bill would authorize an employer of a minor that is intending to employ the minor to work exclusively online to provide the current Uniform Resource Locator (URL) for the employer's internet website as an address for purposes of the above-described notification.
