Employees who are assigned to branch offices shall dress neatly and shall be courteous to patrons.

No individual employed by an off-track betting corporation as a pari-mutuel clerk, cashier or seller shall be permitted to bet during those periods of any day on which such person is actually employed in such capacity.

No officer, director, or employee of any firm, entity or agency that is retained by a corporation or by the commission for the purpose of supervising the operation or maintenance of the system of off-track betting may place any bet, directly or indirectly at any branch office, whether personally or by telephone, or receive any gratuity from any patron.

Each special policeman of a regional corporation other than New York City, who is to have the status of a peace officer shall be previously approved by the commission. Application for such approval shall be made on the forms supplied by the commission. The term of such appointment shall be set by the commission but may be terminated at any time prior thereto by the commission. The commission may set conditions upon such approval.

No director or officer shall participate in the corporation, other than within the prescribed duties of his or her title.

A corporation may deduct from the wages of a branch unit employee monies owed as a result of such employee's going short on any particular racing day. The term short as used in this section means any loss to the corporation arising from amounts missing from funds in the possession, custody or control or under the supervision of any branch unit employee or employees in the course of the performance of his, her or their duties in betting operations.
