What document must employers keep on file for each employed minor, available for inspection by school and labor officials?

• A. Age Verification Card
• B. I-9 Form
• C. W-4 Form
• D. Work Permit

Answer: (D)

Minors must have a work permit (employment certificate) to be legally employed. This document is issued by the school district or state and confirms the minor’s eligibility to work, as well as any age, hour, and job-type restrictions. Employers are required to keep this permit on file and make it available for inspection by school and labor officials to show compliance with child labor laws. The I-9 form is required for all employees to verify identity and eligibility to work in the U.S., but it isn’t the specific minor-focused document used to authorize employment or to be inspected by school and labor officials. The W-4 is for tax withholding and not tied to a minor’s eligibility to work. An age verification card isn’t the standard document used to regulate minors’ employment in this context.
