Nigel started his day with the work permit weighing heavily on this mind. Fifth period was free for Nigel, so he decided to stop by the administrator’s office to get more information on work permits.

As students began leaving fourth period, Jet tapped Nigel on the shoulder.

“How did the account unlock go?”

“Oh, the unlock is still in progress for my account. I think I messed up because a supervisor wants to talk to both of us at once now,” Nigel answered.

“Let me talk to George and get back to you.”

“I don’t think I got to properly thank you for your help the other day, it meant a lot,” Nigel said.

“Thank us after you get the accounts unlocked.”

“Well, I’ve got to go. Let me know what George thinks,” Nigel said as he walked out of the classroom.

As Nigel entered the admin building, he noticed Fred Rivera was manning the desk today.

“Hello, Mr. Rivera.”

“Hey, Nigel, what brings you in to administration today?”

“I’m inquiring about a work permit.”

“Okay, I can help you with that.”

“Do I fill out an application or something?”

“The process involves one simple form and a grade check. As long as you have at least a B-average and a parent’s signature, I can issue one,” Fred said.

“How long does the process take?”

“Usually a few days. Remember, the employer cannot require you to work during school hours, and there is a twenty-three-hour limit each week,” Fred said.

“Great! Thanks for your help.”
