Popis: Research into the roles and functions of rehabilitation, counselors has revealed job placement services to be among the most important duties reported. Yet, counselors have indicated they have insufficient time to perform placement services because of increased case load size. Thus, clients who are approaching job readiness generally have been referred to private not-for-profit rehabilitation facilities for placement services. More recently, private for-profit rehabilitation practitioners have discovered that placement efforts are enhanced by having smaller case loads which allows for attention to be focused toward job placement in a timely manner. However, both private not-for-profit rehabilitation facilities and for-profit practitioners generally charge a fee for client placement services. The dilemma confronting rehabilitation professionals and facilities who collect fees for placement is that they may be in violation of state statutes requiring such activities to be licensed as employment agencies, agents, or both. State statutes regulating employment agency functions are examined relative to fee-generating placement activities performed by rehabilitation personnel.
