Upon request, every employer and employee shall furnish the division all
information required by it to accomplish the purposes of this article, which
information shall be furnished on blanks to be prepared by the division. It is the duty
of the division to furnish such blanks to the employer free of charge upon request
therefor. Every employer receiving from the division any blanks, with directions to
fill out same, shall answer fully and correctly all questions therein propounded and
give all the information therein sought, or, if unable to do so, he shall give in writing
good and sufficient reasons for the failure. The director may require that the
information required to be furnished be verified under oath and returned to the
division within the period fixed by him or by law. The director, or any person
employed by the division for that purpose, has the right to examine, under oath, any
employee or employer, or the officer, agent, or employee thereof, for the purpose of
ascertaining any information which such employer or employee is required by this
article to furnish to the division.

(2) Any employer or employee who fails or refuses to furnish information as
may be required by the division under authority of this article 1 shall pay a penalty
of not less than fifty dollars for each day that the failure or refusal continues. The
division shall transmit any penalty imposed and collected pursuant to this section
to the state treasurer, who shall credit the money to the wage theft enforcement
fund created in section 8-4-113 (3).
