Section 24.16 - Inspections Conducted by the Department

(1) Right of Inspection. The Department shall have the right to inspect the premises and records of all Agencies and to interview Clients, Employers, Job Applicants and Workers. The Director may suspend or revoke the license of any Employment Agency that fails to furnish agency records and requested information to the Department and its inspector, or if the Employment Agency hinders or interferes with any authorized inspector while in the performance of his or her duties.

(2) Subpoena Authority. The Director, when investigating any matter pertaining to the issuance, transfer, revocation, or suspension of a License, may take such testimony as may be necessary on which to base an official action. When taking such testimony, the Director may subpoena witnesses and also direct that the Department be furnished with necessary materials, books, papers, and other records.

(3) Semi-annual Inspections of Licensed Employment Agencies. The Department shall inspect the Employment Agency every six months, except that, following the initial inspection of the premises and records of the Employment Agency, if the location of the Employment Agency has not changed since the initial inspection, and the Employment Agency has no outstanding violations or complaints pending against it, the Department may elect to engage in a documentary inspection of the Employment Agency.
