The holder of any license issued under the provisions of this act may employ to assist him in his work and in the conduct of his business as many persons as he may deem necessary, and he shall at all times during such employment be accountable for the good conduct in the business of each and every person so employed.

Any person falsely stating or representing that he is or has been a detective employed by a private detective business licensed under this act shall be guilty of a misdemeanor. Any person who may be or has been employed by the holder of a license under this act shall not divulge to anyone other than his employer, or in such manner and to such person as his employer shall direct, any information acquired by him during such employment in respect to any work to which he shall have been assigned by such employer, except as such disclosure may be required by the provisions of this act or in connection with any investigation of a licensee by the superintendent. Any person violating any of the provisions of this section, and any employee of a licensed private detective business who shall willfully make a false report or statement to his employer in respect to any matter or thing connected with his employment shall be guilty of a misdemeanor. The prosecutor of the pleas of the county in which any conviction for a violation of any provision of this act shall, within ten days thereafter, make and file with the superintendent a report showing the date of such conviction, the name of the person convicted and the nature of the charge.
