P.R. Laws tit. 29, § 691
The Secretary of Labor and Human Resources shall have the right to recover from any employer who fails to fulfill his obligation to pay or withhold the dues fixed in § 690 of this title or of any chauffeur operating his own motor vehicle, the unpaid sums plus an equal sum by way of liquidated damages, in addition to the costs, expenses and attorney’s fees of the proceeding.
The cases of persons operating their own motor vehicles in the public transportation service where judgment has been entered for noncompliance with the obligation to pay the dues required by law shall be notified to the Public Service Commission of Puerto Rico so that the latter may give due consideration to the matter when said persons, employers and enterprisers appear before it in relation with their certificates of necessity and convenience and the issuing of permits.
