Official Website

of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania

    The .gov means its official.

    Local, state, and federal government websites often end in .gov. Commonwealth of Pennsylvania government websites and email systems use "pennsylvania.gov" or "pa.gov" at the end of the address. Before sharing sensitive or personal information, make sure you're on an official state website. 

    Quarterly Hour Reporting

    Beginning with the second (2nd) quarter of 2024, quarterly hour reports for barber students in shops and schools are required to be submitted through the PALS account associated with the shop or school the student was attending. An email was sent at the beginning of April to alert shops and schools to the pending change and included instructions for submitting the hours in PALS.
