| 17 |  |  (b) The day and temporary labor service agency shall  | 
| 18 |  | maintain all records under this Section for a period of 3 years  | 
| 19 |  | from their creation. The records shall be open to inspection by  | 
| 20 |  | the Department and the Department of Human Rights during normal  | 
| 21 |  | business hours. Records described in paragraphs (1), (2), (3),  | 
| 22 |  | (6), (7), and (8) of subsection (a) shall be available for  | 
| 23 |  | review or copying by that day or temporary laborer during  | 
| 24 |  | normal business hours within 5 days following a written  |

| 1 |  | third party client for that individual day or temporary  | 
| 2 |  | laborer's hours of work available for review or copying during  | 
| 3 |  | normal business hours within 5 days following a written  | 
| 4 |  | request. The day and temporary labor service agency shall make  | 
| 5 |  | forms, in duplicate, for such requests available to day or  | 
| 6 |  | temporary laborers at the dispatch office. The day or temporary  | 
| 7 |  | laborer shall be given a copy of the request form. It is a  | 
| 8 |  | violation of this Section to make any false, inaccurate or  | 
| 9 |  | incomplete entry into any record required by this Section, or  | 
| 10 |  | to delete required information from any such record. Failure by  | 
| 11 |  | the third party client to remit time records to the day and  | 
| 12 |  | temporary labor service agency as provided in paragraph (a)(2)  | 
| 13 |  | shall constitute a notice violation by a third party client  | 
| 14 |  | under Section 95 of this Act unless the third party client has  | 
| 15 |  | been precluded from submitting such time records for reasons  | 
| 16 |  | beyond its control. A failure by the third party client to  | 
| 17 |  | provide time records in accordance with this subsection (b)  | 
| 18 |  | shall not be a notice violation and shall not be the basis for  | 
| 19 |  | a suit or other action under Section 95 of this Act against the  | 
| 20 |  | day and temporary labor service agency.
