Whether you’re a young worker looking for a job, or an employer hiring anyone under the age of 18, the Youth Employment Permit Portal (YEPP) is your one-stop shop to get started for:
YEPP is coming October 2, 2026.
Join the YEPP Demonstration Webinar to learn about legislative changes, employer and youth employment requirements, wage and hour requirements, and see the new portal in action, including employer and minor registration, the permit process, a live system demonstration and frequently asked questions.
Employer registration opens before the October implementation date. Register early to avoid delays.
YEPP become required on October 2, 2026.
No. Beginning October 2, permits will be issued through YEPP.
Yes. A valid work permit issued by a Michigan school before YEPP launches will continue to be honored. A minor will not need to obtain a new permit solely because the permitting process moved to YEPP.
Employers should keep existing school-issued permits on file, register their business in YEPP if they plan to hire minors and continue complying with all applicable youth-employment requirements.
A new YEPP permit will be required if the minor changes employers or begins working at a different worksite.
Support, webinars, user guides and training materials are available in YEPP.
