The employer shall maintain these records for a minimum of three years and shall make them available, upon request, to the Labor Commissioner.
(1) Upon a trainee's request, the employer must provide a copy of the training materials presented to the trainee and a copy of any certificate of attendance or completion issued to trainee.
