§ 25-12. Penalty for filing a frivolous complaint.

Latest version.

If a hearing officer determines that any non-payment of earned wages complaint submitted to the county was without any basis in law or fact, the hearing officer shall issue an order requiring the complainant, or the entity filing the complaint on behalf of its member, where applicable, to reimburse, within thirty (30) days of the order: (1) the county for all administrative costs incurred by the county in connection with such complaint; and (2) each respondent employer named in the complaint for all reasonable costs and attorney's fees incurred by the employer in connection with the complaint. If such reimbursement is not timely made, the county or the employer may file an appropriate action in a court of competent jurisdiction to obtain such reimbursement.
