    (a) In addition to other records required under the recordkeeping 
requirements (part 516 of this chapter), the employer is required to 
keep records specific to certification under section 14(a) of the Fair 
Labor Standards Act. All workers employed under a subminimum wage

least three years from the last date of employment under a subminimum 
wage program. The employer's copy of the application and the certificate 
shall also be maintained for three years. Such records shall be kept 
secure and accessible at the place of employment or where payroll 
records are customarily maintained. All records must be available for 
inspection and copying by the Administrator.
