Compliance proceedings

(a) After a board order directing the payment of back pay has been issued or after enforcement of such order by the Superior Court, if informal efforts to dispose of the matter prove unsuccessful, the agent is then authorized in his discretion to issue a back pay specification in the name of the board and a notice of hearing before the board, both of which shall be sent by registered or certified mail to the parties involved. The specification sets forth the computations showing gross and net back pay due and any other pertinent information. The respondent must file an answer within fifteen (15) days of the receipt of the specification setting forth a particularized statement of its defense. (b) In the alternative, and in his discretion, the agent under the circumstances specified above, may issue and send to the parties a notice of hearing only without a specification. Such notice shall contain in addition to the time and place of hearing before the board, a brief statement of the matters in controversy.
