Working Papers
Alternative Process for Issuing Working Papers During COVID-19 School Closures
Parents/guardians and minors may complete the appropriate application form and email it to the district or
school’s Certificating Officer. Fillable PDF versions of the AT-17 Application for Employment Certificate
and AT-22 Application for Employment Permit are now available on NYSED’s Employment of Minors website. These forms allow digital signatures.
Parents/guardians, please contact sara.harvey@hflcsd.org to schedule a video call with the student, and if required, the parent or guardian.
During this video call, the minor presents required documentation as per the Certificating Officers
Manual.
Certificating Officers may then complete the working card, sign it, and mail it to the minor. The minor
should sign the card upon receipt. The requirement that the minor sign the card in the presence of the
certificating officer is temporarily waived for the duration of New York’s COVID-19 school closures.
Certificating Officers must continue to use approved working cards.
Please contact the main office at the high school if you have any questions at 624-7050
