Optional Special Variance Authorization
(Non-agricultural Employment Only) For Participating Schools*
A Special Variance allows a 16- or 17-year old minor to work up to 28 hours per week with 6-hour shifts during the school week with
approval of the authorized school official and the parent. This authorization must be signed by the employer, the minor, the minor’s
authorized school official [pursuant to WAC 296-125-070(3)], and the minor’s parent or legal guardian.
School officials should not sign the Special Variance if a review of the student’s progress indicates the additional work hours will be
detrimental to the minor’s academic education. Please note that the employer must renew this form each year
.
