135 - Duties of Employers.

§  135.  Duties of employers. 1. The employer of any minor required to
have an employment certificate:
  a. Shall, before employment begins, file at the place of  the  minor's
employment  such certificate so that it may be readily accessible to any
person authorized by law to examine such document;
  b. Shall, upon the termination of the minor's employment,  return  the
employment certificate to the minor;
  c.  (i)  Shall,  if the employer is engaged in a business of assigning
employees for temporary  services  at  another  establishment,  and  the
employer  compensates  the  employee for such services rendered, keep on
file in his or her office the employment certificate and shall cause  to
be  delivered  to each establishment where the child will perform his or
her services a true copy of such employment certificate.  Such  delivery
shall  be  deemed  compliance with this section and sections one hundred
thirty-one and one hundred thirty-two of this article. The owner of each
establishment to which the child is assigned shall keep on file  in  his
or  her  office  such copy of the employment certificate, which shall be
deemed compliance with this section, and shall return such copy  to  the
employer  at  the  conclusion  of  the child's assignment. Such employer
shall note on the original employment certificate the existence of  each
copy.
  (ii)  As used in this subdivision, the term "establishment" includes a
factory, mercantile establishment, business office,  restaurant,  hotel,
and any other trade, business or service.
  2.  The  employer  of  any  person claiming to be between eighteen and
twenty-five years of age who does not present an employment  certificate
duly  issued  for  him or her must require from such person, and furnish
upon demand to the commissioner or his or her authorized representative,
proof of the age of such person in the form of  a  driver's  license  or
other  documentation issued by the government of the United States or of
any state located therein, or a certificate of age issued to such person
by an employment certificating official. Such proof of age or a  legible
photocopy  thereof,  or an employment certificate, previously issued for
such person and on file in the place of his or her employment, shall  be
conclusive  evidence  that  the  person has reached the age certified to
therein.
