On every card or letterhead, there shall be printed in bold-faced type the following:

"This card of introduction is given to ____________ (name of job seeker) with the understanding that there is no obligation to this employment agency for any fee until, as a result of the services rendered by the agency, __________. (name of job seeker) is employed in a job with respect to which the agency received a bona fide order from an employer. ___________ (name of job seeker) has agreed to pay the fee under the foregoing conditions if the fee is not paid by an employer."

(b) The employment agency shall require all job seekers applying for positions of trust or work with private families to furnish the agency with names and addresses of individuals available as character references, and shall communicate, orally or in writing, with at least one of the individuals given by the job seeker as a character reference.

1. If the job seeker has not furnished the name of any individuals available as character references, or if no favorable statement has been received from a character reference, the employment agency shall so advise the prospective employer to whom the job seeker is referred. This information shall be written upon the referral slip given by the employment agency to the job seeker to present to the prospective employer. The written result of the verification to determine the character and responsibility of any job seeker shall be kept on file in the employment agency subject to examination by the Executive Director.

2. If the employer voluntarily waives, in writing, a verification of references, the licensed employment agency shall not be required to make the verification, but shall keep a record of the written waiver as required by 13:45B-2.4(a)4.
