Washington Parent Authorization for Summer Work is a form that is required for any minor under the age of 18 who wishes to work in Washington state during the summer months. The form requires signature of the child's parent or legal guardian, as well as the child's employer and must be filed with the Washington State Department of Labor & Industries. The form outlines the type of work the child may do, the hours they may work, the type of supervision the child will have, the wage rate they will receive, and any safety provisions that are in place. There are two types of Washington Parent Authorization for Summer Work: a Standard Authorization and an Authorization with Special Conditions. The Standard Authorization applies to most summer work and allows minors to work up to 8 hours a day and 40 hours a week. The Authorization with Special Conditions applies to minors working in certain occupations, such as agriculture, that may involve hazardous or dangerous work. The form must be completed by the employer and signed by the child's parent or legal guardian before the child can start work.
