NOTICE TO JOB APPLICANT – READ BEFORE SIGNING
Do not sign this contract before you have read it or if any spaces are left blank. The
employment agency must give you a signed copy of this contract at the time you sign it.
IMPORTANT: It is against the law for the employment agency to charge a registration or
application fee. The agency can only collect a deposit if you are applying for certain types
of jobs. YOU ARE ENTITLED TO A REFUND. IF A REFUND IS NOT MADE
WITHIN SEVEN (7) DAYS OR YOU HAVE A COMPLAINT OR NEED MORE
INFORMATION, CALL 3-1-1.
Receipts (Check A or B.)
A. I will use DCA’s model receipt as my agency’s receipt and give a receipt to each Artist who
pays a fee as confirmation of payment. The receipt is available for download at
nyc.gov/BusinessToolbox. I am responsible for using the most current version of this receipt, and
I will regularly check DCA’s website for updates.
