I have determined that you have not paid wages as stipulated in the "Labour Conditions" and wage Schedule included in contract **contract number** awarded by **name of contracting authority**, and the following amounts are owing:

**if more than one worker is affected, attach a list with the names, occupations and amount owing for each**

Please review this determination and its ****allegation OR allegations****.

You are also required to commence immediately to pay the correct rate according to the wage Schedule.
