work permit for a 16 year old? Nevada

[daydreamnation67]

I'm 16, a high school and college student, and I've recently applied for a job available through my school, but the employer wasn't sure whether I had to have a work permit for her to hire me. I've heard you only need one if you're under 16. It's mainly computer work, and I don't think I'd be working past 10 PM, or working more than about 20 hours a week.

I've heard you can get a permit from the Juvi courts (in Las Vegas), or from your school counselor or something, but I don't know under what circumstances I need it, or how to go about getting one, or where the Juvi court is.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Here's the entire text of the laws concerning child labor and I don't see anything in there regarding work permits for 16 year-olds.

Your school counselor or principal should be able to advise you; they deal with this all the time.
