Students who are between the ages of 14 and 18 who seek employment must do so in accordance with the labor laws as prescribed by the State of New Jersey.

All New Jersey minors are required to have working papers as a condition of employment.  A new law - A4222 - effective June 1, 2023 significantly changes how minors get working papers and switches oversight and administration to the New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development (NJDOL).  The new process is online and streamlined, and can be accessed at MyWorkingPapers.nj.gov.
