The Labor Standards Division is authorized to license and regulate all private employment agencies in Arkansas. Private employment agencies are regulated by the Department of Labor only if they charge a fee to the prospective applicant. If the agency only charges the employer, they are not regulated as a private employment agency. Read the Private Employment Agency Law here (PDF)
