  week  of  less  than  the  wage  applicable  under  this  article  shall
  constitute a separate offense.

  or agent of any corporation, who fails  to  keep  the  records  required
  under  this  article  or  to  furnish  such  records  or any information
  required to be furnished under this article to the commissioner  or  his
  authorized  representative  upon  request,  or who hinders or delays the
