A Parent/Guardian must:
- Get a Child Performer Permit before work begins, and give a copy to each employer
- Provide all required documentation with the 1-year permit application, for example: school form, health form and trust account form.
- Renew the permit for the child performer prior to expiration
- Establish a child performer trust account, unless one already exists
- Notify the child performer’s employer of:
– the existence of the account including any information needed to make transfers
– any change in facts that could affect the employer’s obligation to make transfers
– if they wish to transfer more than 15% of the child performer’s gross earnings to the trust account - Appoint a trust company as custodian of the account once the balance reaches $250,000
- Work with the child performer, any certified teacher provided by the employer and with the child’s school to make sure that the child maintains good academic performance
- Make sure that a child performer required to attend school is not without a teacher and unemployed for longer than ten (10) consecutive days while the school is in session
