(iii)       For full-time and part-time employees, upon request by an employee, the employer shall give an employee a signed statement of service upon termination.  Such statement shall certify the length of service, the age of children supervised and the positions held by such employee.

(iv)       Travelling time and meal/tea breaks shall be excluded from such time of attendance.
