Division 17 - PRIVATE EMPLOYMENT AGENCY MATTERS
Section 839-017-0103 - Definitions for the Purpose of Solving Interagency Disputes Only

(1) "Employer" means any person or agent of a company that has the authority and responsibility to interview or initiate the action that would result in a position with said company. It is recognized that some companies can have several employers within the company (the same legal entity) due to departments or locations. If an interview is scheduled for an applicant for employment to a different department or location by the original interviewer within the company, it will be considered to be the same employer. If an interview is scheduled for the same applicant for employment by another employment agency to a different department, for the purpose of this definition, it would be considered a different employer even though it may be within the same company.

(2) "Scheduled Appointment" means a definite date and time of interview with a specific company representative. If the time of making the first interview is not determined satisfactorily between the agencies involved, the employer's statement shall be accepted as to the time of the making of the first appointment.
