b) No licensee shall employ, assign or refer any applicant until the licensee has checked the applicant's references.

Adm. Code U.C. 395). The length of conditional employment, referral, or assignment of the applicant is subject to approval by the Department of Labor if written verification has not been received by the Nurse Agency within 20 working days. The length of conditional employment shall be extended to more than 20 working days only if the delay in response from the Department of Professional Regulation or the Department of Public Health was as a result of a staffing problem or clerical error.
