Information For Parents
This information is for parents of children who are a minor in the
application process (Age 14-17). The following information will review
the necessary steps required of your child if they are to accept
employment with the Hershey Entertainment Complex.
Work Permit Application
Your child will need to obtain a work permit in order to begin working.
The work permit application may be issued to your child through the
Human Resources department after your son or daughter is hired or
may be obtained at your their high school.
Q: How do I obtain a working permit for my child?
The steps below need to be completed in order for your child to begin working:
STEP 1: At the end of the interview, your child’s department will fill out Section C on the back of the application. If they have not completed it, please visit their department office or the Employee Resource Center.
STEP 2: Go to your child’s high school office with the following to have Section A completed:
- Original birth certificate or a document that has evidence of their age (please see the box with letters A-E on the work permit application for other options)
Please DO NOT fill in Section B of the application prior to going to the high school office. This section must be completed in the presence of a school official by the parent or guardian.
STEP 3: You must have a doctor complete Section D stating your child has had a recent physical.
STEP 4: Once the entire work permit application is filled out, your child must return the application to their high school office where they will be issued their actual work permit.
If your child is 14 or 15, their high school may mail their work
permit to the Employee Resource Center. Your child must first call
717-520-JOBS(5627) prior to attending Company Orientation to verity
that we have received their actual work permit. If your child receives
their work permit from their high school they will need to remember
to bring it to their Company Orientation class.
NOTE: Your child CANNOT complete their Company
Orientation until they have their Blue or Yellow work permit or have
called 717-520-JOBS(5627) to see whether or not we have received
their work permit from their high school.
Company Orientation
All new employees are required to attend Company Orientation as
their first day of work. Company orientation is located at the Employee
Resource Center, 75 East Derry Road, Hershey, PA. At Company Orientation,
you child will learn about Hershey Entertainment
& Resorts as well as our company policies.
Employees must bring the following original documentation:
- 14-17 years old 1. Work Permit (Blue or Yellow)
- Original birth certificate or social security card
NOTE: If your son/daughter is not scheduled for Company
Orientation please call
717- 520-JOBS. If they are not able to attend
their scheduled orientation, they will need to call and reschedule,
since this is considered their first day of work.
Wardrobe

After the employee has completed Company Orientation, the wardrobe fitting is the next appointment to attend.
- The employee can schedule their Wardrobe Fitting by calling the Wardrobe Department at
717-534-3892

their uniform.
Q: Do I have to wash my child’s uniform?
- Locker Option —No. All new hire employees are assigned a locker, which means we will wash their uniform daily by swapping out their dirty uniform for a clean one. We recommend trying this option for at least one month
- Take Home Option—Yes. If your child wishes to have their uniform laundered at home, they will need to clear out their locker and inform Wardrobe of their decision
[NOTE: Employees may not have a locker if they choose Take Home Option.]
Uniform Wear
- When your child is on the Entertainment Complex for work, they
must be following the proper uniform standards set in the Employee
Handbook (full handbook found on mypath.HersheyPA.com). If these
standards are not met, disciplinary action will be taken. We expect
our employees to be dressed professionally and well groomed everyday
that they are here for work
