Dear ****Mr./Mrs./Ms.**** **name of the contractor**:

Subject:

**Contract #, Contract title, Name of Contracting authority, Work site address or location**

As noted in my previous correspondence, subsequent to my ****inspection OR investigation**** on **date of visit to site** under the Fair Wages and Hours of Labour Act and Regulations at the work site noted above, I found that workers at the site had not been paid at the rate stipulated in the wage Schedule applicable to your contract. Although ****you agreed OR you agreed on behalf of your subcontractor OR your subcontractor agreed, at your request,**** to pay the outstanding amount by **proposed date of compliance** ***(if contract active after inspection/investigation) and to immediately commence paying the appropriate rate from the Schedule***, the necessary ****action has OR actions have**** not occurred.

Therefore, I am proceeding to the next enforcement level and requesting that **name of contracting authority** apply subsection 11(2) of the Fair Wages and Hours of Labour Regulations and withhold $**amount** from the monies still owed to you on this contract. This amount represents the difference between what the workers were paid and what they should have been paid according to the wage Schedule, up to the present date. A copy of the holdback request is enclosed for your information.

Unless I receive a certified cheque in the amount of $**amount** by **date for compliance (allow 5 – 10 working days, depending on estimated finish date of contract)**, ***(contract is still active) along with evidence that the workers' pay rates have been adjusted as of **date of assessment of arrears,** according to the wage Schedule for **title of applicable Schedule** dated **effective date of applicable Schedule**, *** I will proceed on **date for compliance** to obtain the monies from the contracting authority for disbursement to the affected workers.

For further information about this matter, you may contact me at the address or telephone number indicated below.

Yours sincerely,

 

**Name**, Inspector
