Work Permit

Minors must have a current/valid "Entertainment Work Permit" before work can be granted. Permits are valid for six months. (8 CCR 11753)

Work Permit

Oh yes, I hustled and bustled and drove down to Van Nuys with a new baby in tow, for a work permit. Thank goodness she slept on the way there and back, and it was easy to find. So now, my 17 day old baby has an entertainment work permit, with the blessing of her pediatrician, of course!!

20 days later, it has arrived. Now that I have it in my hot little hand, I can apply for Mad's Coogan account and sign the agent contract. Finally the kid can earn her keep. (Okay, not really).

On a side note, Madi is starting to sign back to us. So exciting!

Holy EVOO Batman, 4 Weeks!

I just called the LA branch of the CA Division of Labor to ask about Madi's work permit. I was redirected to the Van Nuys office, because they're consolidating offices. So I called Van Nuys, and inquired about the permit and was told that it is taking up to 4 weeks nowadays because of the "merger" of the offices. Holy crepe suzette! But they told me that if a job comes up to call back, and they'll expedite the permit.
