1. The record of previous violations by the person with the Division of Wage and Hour Compliance;

2. Previous cases of debarment by the Commissioner;

3. The frequency of violations by the person discovered in previous or still pending cases;

4. The significance or scale of the violations;

5. The existence of outstanding audit(s) or failure(s) to pay;

6. Failure to respond to a request to produce records, forms, documents, or proof of payments;

7. Submission of falsified or altered records, forms, documents, or proof of payment;

8. Failure to provide goods and/or services; and

9. Failure to comply with contract specifications.

(d) A violation of any labor law or the prohibition against conflict of interest shall be determined by the Commissioner. In the event an appeal taken from such determination results in a reversal, the debarment shall be removed unless the Commissioner determines that another cause for debarment exists.
