§ 22-9-2-6 — Record of ages of employees; complaints; hearing; findings of fact

Every person shall keep true and accurate
records of the ages of all persons employed by the person as reported
by each employee, and shall upon demand furnish to the commissioner
of labor, or to the authorized representative of the commissioner of
labor, a true copy of any such record, verified upon oath. Such record
shall be open to investigation by the commissioner at any reasonable
time. If on all the testimony taken, the commissioner of labor shall
make a preliminary determination that the employer has engaged in or
is engaging in unfair employment practices, the commissioner shall
endeavor to eliminate such unfair employment practices by informal
methods of conference, conciliation and persuasion. If voluntary
compliance cannot be obtained, the commissioner of labor shall be
empowered to issue a complaint stating the charges and giving not less
than ten (10) days' notice of hearing before the commissioner of labor
at a place fixed in the notice. Any complaint issued pursuant to this
section must be so issued within four (4) months after the alleged
unfair employment practices were committed. The respondent shall
have the right to file an answer to such complaint and may appear at
such hearing with or without counsel to present evidence and to
examine and cross-examine witnesses. Upon the completion of
testimony at such hearing, if determination is made that unfair practices
were committed, the commissioner of labor shall state the
commissioner's findings of fact and, if satisfied therewith, may issue
the commissioner's finding that the employer has ceased to engage in
unfair employment practices.
