(a) Describe concisely the violation;

(b) Specify which statute was violated;

(c) If known, identify the employees who were affected by the violation;

(d) If known and applicable, state the amount of unpaid wages or damages the violator owes;

(e) State the penalty, if any, the department will assess for the violation; and

(f) State whether the contractor's license is being revoked as a result of the violation.

(2) If the notice alleges that the contractor owes unpaid wages or damages, the department shall serve a copy of the notice of violation on the violator's surety bond company.

(3) The notice of violation shall inform the violator and, if applicable, its surety that they may request a hearing on the violation, the amount of unpaid wages or damages owed, or the penalty assessed. The notice shall specify that if no hearing is requested within thirty days after the date the notice was issued the director shall issue a final, unappealable order finding that the violation did occur, ordering the violator to pay any unpaid wages or damages, and assessing penalties.
