561 | - | has a duty to verify a day and temporary labor service agency's | |
562 | - | status with the Department before entering into a contract | |
563 | - | with such an agency, and on March 1 and September 1 of each | |

565 | - | required to provide each of its third party clients with proof | |

567 | - | entering into a contract. A day and temporary labor service | |

569 | - | writing, each day or temporary laborer it employs and each | |
570 | - | third party client with whom it has a contract within 24 hours | |

575 | - | suspension, or revocation of registration becomes effective | |
576 | - | and until such time as the day and temporary labor service | |
577 | - | agency becomes registered and considered in good standing by | |
578 | - | the Department as provided in Section 50 and Section 55. Upon | |

723 | + | 16 third party client with whom it has a contract within 24 hours | |
724 | + | 17 of any denial, suspension, or revocation of its registration | |
725 | + | 18 by the Department. All contracts between any day and temporary | |
