The Department of Labor has the power to conduct inspections in connection with the administration and enforcement of this Act. Upon request of the Department of Labor, the employer shall demonstrate that each employee received the information required by Section 10 and maintain records of providing such information for one year. Upon finding of a violation, the Department of Labor shall issue a notice to show cause giving the employer 30 days to comply.
If the employer does not comply within 30 days, the Department may impose a penalty as provided for in this Act.
