§ 179. Registers and other records to be kept. It shall be the duty of

every licensed person to keep a register, approved by the commissioner,

in which shall be entered, in the English language, the date of the

application for employment, the date the applicant started work and the

name and address of every applicant from whom a fee or deposit is

charged, the amount of the fee or deposit and the service for which it

is received or charged. Such licensed person shall also enter in the

same or in a separate register, approved by the commissioner, in the

English language, the name and address of every employer from whom a fee

is received or charged or to whom the licensed person refers an

applicant who has paid or is charged a fee, the date of such employer's

request or assent that applicants be furnished, the kind of position for

which applicants are requested, the names of the applicants sent from

whom a fee or deposit is received or charged with the designation of the

one employed, the amount of the fee or deposit charged, and the rate of

salary or wages agreed upon. It shall also be the duty of every licensed

person to keep complete and accurate written records in the English

language of all receipts and income received or derived directly from

the operation of his employment agency, and to keep records concerning

job orders. No such licensed person, his agent or employees, shall make

any false entry in such records. It shall be the duty of every licensed

person to communicate orally or in writing with at least one of the

persons mentioned as references for every applicant for work in private

families, or employed in a fiduciary capacity, and the result of such

investigation shall be kept on file in such agency for a period of at

least three years. Every register and all records kept pursuant to the

requirements of this article shall be retained on the premises of the

agency concerned for three years following the date on which the last

entry thereon was made.
