employment agency
“employment agency” means any agency or registry carried on or represented as being or intended to be carried on (whether for the purpose of gain or reward or not) for or in connection with the employment of persons in any capacity, but does not include any registry set up by an employer for the sole purpose of recruiting persons for employment on the employer’s own behalf;
Whenever it is necessary to cause a person to be searched, the search must be made by an employment agency inspector of the same sex as the person, with strict regard to decency.[19C
