Section 1301.504 - Agents exempt from registration; employment agencies
(a) A full-time or regular employee of any person holding a valid certificate of registration pursuant to this act, who shall have been designated an agent of the registrant and who is employed partly or solely for the purpose of engaging in activities as a farm labor contractor on behalf of the registrant, shall not be required to obtain a certificate of registration in his own name under this act. Every such agent shall have in his immediate possession when engaging in activities as a farm labor contractor such identification as the secretary may require showing such employee to be an agent of a registrant. Every such agent shall be subject to the provisions of this act and of any rules and regulations promulgated pursuant to this act to the same extent as if he were required to obtain a certificate of registration in his own name. The secretary shall require that every registrant identify all persons who have been or who subsequently become agents of the registrant, and may disallow, suspend or revoke the designation as agent of any person pursuant to the qualifications of registrants required by section 503. For the purposes of this act every registrant shall be responsible for the activities of every agent designated by him, and shall be subject to any penalties, including the refusal, suspension or revocation of a certificate of registration, proceeding from any act of any agent designated by him while such agent is engaged in activities as a farm labor contractor. No such agent shall be permitted separately to engage in activities as a farm labor contractor, or to contract with or become the employee of any employer of seasonal farm labor, except on behalf of the registrant for whom he is the agent, and in the same employment, on the same premises and at the same time as the registrant for whom he is the agent. No employer may act as, or be designated as, the agent of a farm labor contractor at any time that such farm labor contractor is providing, or intends to provide, seasonal farm workers for employment by, or in the interest of, said employer.
(b) Every person, partnership, association or corporation which is the holder of a valid and current license pursuant to the act of July 31, 1941 (P.L. 616, No. 261), known as the "Employment Agency Law, " shall be exempt from the registration requirements of this act.
