Section 4: Contracts and Receipts
GBL Section 181
6 RCNY Section 1-05
Contracts
I understand that the contract must be a separate document from any other form I give to job
applicants. I will not combine the contract with a job application form.
(Check A or B.)
A. I will use DCA’s model contract as my agency’s contract and give a copy to each job applicant
who applies for my services. The model contract is available for download at
nyc.gov/BusinessToolbox. I am responsible for using the most current version of this contract,
and I will regularly check DCA’s website for updates.
B. I will not use DCA’s model contract, but will give each job applicant a contract that is
substantially similar to DCA’s model contract and will include all of the following:
Sections 185 and 186 of the GBL AND
The word “Contract” written or printed clearly at the top AND
Name, address, telephone number, and DCA license number of my agency AND
Name and title of the individual executing the contract on behalf of my agency AND
Name of the job applicant AND
Type of work the job applicant will perform AND
Fee, deposit, or other money the job applicant will pay to my agency AND
Payment schedule AND
Notice in 14-point or larger boldface type printed directly above the space reserved in the
contract for the applicant’s signature stating:
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.
