For cases pending under the Wage Payment & Collection Act, The DOL is to refer “egregious and repeated violations” to the Attorney General and all others to binding administrative hearings. For cases under all other wage laws, the DOL is to review and assess all pending cases and take action to resolve them and refer them as quickly as possible to the Attorney General for civil prosecution.
