N.M. Code R. § 11.1.4.105
Within 10 business days of the receipt of the initial correspondence regarding the wage claim, the employer shall respond in writing to the wage claim and shall provide all information and documentation it has that is relevant to the wage claim, including true and accurate wage and hour records. If the employer fully admits the alleged violation, the LRD may proceed directly to the resolution phase of the investigation. If after the employer's initial response the LRD deems necessary, the LRD may interview the employer to obtain any additional information and shall issue a subpoena to compel time records, payroll records or other documents the LRD deems necessary to conduct an investigation into the merits of the wage claim, if such records were not voluntarily provided. If wage and hour records are not identified after these steps are completed, the LRD may interview the wage claimant to obtain any additional information needed and then shall proceed to the resolution phase of the investigation. If an employer is represented by an attorney at any time during the proceedings, the attorney shall give written notice to the LRD of said representation.
