Also here is an example of the information that WFI reviews with interns, the Youth Work Experience Handbook, to prepare them for a successful work experience. Please note WFI discusses everything from how to dress for an interview to child labor laws to attendance to termination and everything in between! Once a new Employer of Record is selected, we will be updating this and other handbooks to reflect new time reporting, payroll and other relevant information.
