Section 16462 - Complaints
(a) The Compliance Monitoring Unit shall accept complaints from workers or members of the public alleging nonpayment of the required minimum rates of pay to workers or other violations of the prevailing wage laws on projects that are subject to this subchapter. Complaints shall be filed in writing with the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement as soon as the alleged violation is known, and the Division may provide for complaints to be filed electronically. A complaint need not conform to any technical requirements as long as it contains sufficient information to identify the project, affected parties and dates, and describes the subject matter of the complaint in enough detail to enable the Division to commence an investigation into whether a violation occurred.
(b) The Compliance Monitoring Unit shall notify the contractor and subcontractor of any noncompliance as soon as practicable where such notice may enable the contractor or subcontractor to correct the non-compliance. This early notice may describe the nature of the violation only, and it is not necessary that the notice include a full summary of any unpaid wages due.
