Work permit is a generic term for a legal authorization which allows a person to take employment. It is most often used in reference to instances where a person is given permission to work in a country where one does not hold citizenship, but is also used in reference to minors, who in some jurisdictions require a permit in order to legally work due to Child Labor laws. Within an industry, a work permit may be required to execute certain functions within a factory outside of normal operational tasks (such as maintenance tasks) - in some places they might be called Permit to Work (PTW).
