23-532. Return of agent's fee to applicant

A. No employment agent, or agent thereof, shall send an applicant out for employment without having a bona fide order from the prospective employer to do so.

B. If an applicant is sent out and fails to obtain employment as represented the employment agent shall, upon demand, refund any fee the applicant has paid.

C. If the employment agent refuses or fails to make a prompt refund, upon demand, as provided in this section, the applicant may apply to the commission for a hearing. If the commission upon investigation finds that the applicant is entitled to a refund it shall issue an order to that effect, and shall pay the refund to the applicant from the cash deposit or bond of the employment agent. Either party to any such controversy may appeal within five days from the issuance of an order to the superior court of the county in which the business of the employment agent is located.
