A company was fined $500 for failing to cooperate with a CNMI Department of Labor investigation.

OCM Saipan Corp, which does business as Blue Haus and BH Janitorial Services, was penalized in an administrative order signed by DOL’s Administrative Hearing Officer Jerry Cody.

DOL’s Enforcement Section had requested that the corporation be sanctioned for failing to produce documents in response to an investigation conducted under Chapter 2 of the Commonwealth Employment Act of 2007.

Among the requested documents were total listing of employees, business license, annual corporate report, quarterly employer’s withholding tax, and a letter of compliance from the Division of Revenue and Taxation.

In cases of violations under that chapter, the hearing officer is authorized to levy a fine not exceeding $2,000.

The fine will be suspended for one year and then extinguished if the company complies with the term of the order and commits no further violations of DOL’s statutes and regulations.
