P.R. Laws tit. 29, § 442
Every employer receiving an employment certificate issued to a minor between fourteen (14) and less than eighteen (18) years of age shall return said certificate to the local office of the Department of Labor and Human Resources within the two (2) days following the date of the termination of the minor’s employment. Failure to make such return shall be sufficient cause for the department to refuse other permits. No new employment certificate shall be issued to any minor until he submits a new statement from the employer. An employment certificate shall be valid only to the employer for whom the permit is issued and for the occupation designated in the employer’s statement. The employer shall obtain and keep on his files, accessible to any official, inspector, or other person authorized to enforce or to assist in the enforcement of §§ 431—443a and 446—456 of this title, the employment certificates issued to minors while they are working with said employer. The refusal of any employer to produce, during an inspection, such employment certificate, or the presence of any minor under eighteen (18) years of age in his establishment or in the surroundings of his establishment, without holding an employment certificate, or at any hour not specified in the notice of hours referred to by §§ 431—443a and 446—456 of this title, shall be prima facie evidence of a violation of the provisions governing the employment of minors. The presence of a minor under eighteen (18) years of age in any working place shall be prima facie evidence that the minor is employed.
