(4) Except as otherwise provided in subsection (5), if a client is referred to an employer and employment of the kind specified does not exist at the place to which the client is directed, and the client does not accept other employment in substitution of the kind of employment contained in the job referral, the agency, within 24 hours after demand, shall refund to the client the sum paid by the client for transportation in going to and returning from the referral.  (5) A type A personnel agency may direct a client to an employer if the employer has previously requested that the employer be advised of clients with certain employment qualifications even though an actual vacancy does not exist in the employer's organization at the time the client is referred. A type A personnel agency may also communicate the qualifications of a client to an employer which the agency reasonably believes may be seeking employees with such qualifications, even though a job order has not been placed with the agency. However, the client shall be advised that the referral to such an employer is being made without the knowledge of any vacancy and that there will be no refund of client expenses by the agency if employment is not obtained from such a referral.  (6) A type A personnel agency shall maintain a file for at least 3 years regarding each job order. The file shall contain at least the following information:  (a) A copy of the job order.  (b) A copy of each job referral given to a client regarding that job.
