wages or compensation he shall receive for each day, week, month, or year;  or per

piece, for work performed.  The employer shall furnish the minor with written evidence of the agreement and,

on or before each payday, with a statement of the earnings due and the amount to be

paid to him.  No employer shall reduce the wages or compensation of any minor without giving him

notice at least twenty-four hours previous to the reduction, at which time a written

agreement shall be entered into with the minor as in the case of original employment. (B) No employer shall retain or withhold from a minor in his employ the wages or compensation,

or any part thereof, agreed to be paid and due the minor for work performed or services

rendered because of presumed negligence or failure to comply with rules, breakage

of machinery, or alleged incompetence to produce work or perform labor according to

any standard of merit. (C) No employer shall receive a guarantee, bonus, money deposit, or other form of security

to obtain or secure employment for a minor or to ensure faithful performance of labor,
