If the employer disputes the alleged violation and submits relevant documentary evidence, the LRD shall give the claimant an opportunity to respond in writing, by sending the claimant the employer's response and evidence. The wage claimant may respond within 10 business days of receipt of the communication with any additional information regarding the wage claim. The LRD may also telephone the wage claimant to obtain any additional information needed. Upon receipt of information from the claimant, or upon expiration of the 10 day period, whichever is earlier, the LRD shall proceed to the resolution phase of the investigation.
