as a result of the referral, he or she may be liable for the fee to the
agency.

applicant may agree on a schedule of payment of the fee for a permanent
placement, but in no case may more than 60% of the first month's earnings be
required to be paid to the agency in the first 30 days of employment, if the
total fee exceeds 60% of the first month's earnings.

sign a contract shall have the terms of the contract and the fee schedule
printed in its entirety and in not less than 8 point type and shall give to the

confession of judgment, a promissory note or notes, or an assignment of wages
to cover its fees.
