THE PROCESS

Once a completed Work Permit Application is received at the Superintendent's Office, the RSU1 Issuing Officer verifies the student's information and signs the Work Permit. The form is then sent to the Maine Department of Labor for their approval. If approved, a copy of the approved work permit will be emailed or mailed back to the student to bring to their employer. If denied, a letter will be issued stating the DOL's reasoning.
