Universal Citation: WY Code of Rules 2-5

Current through September 21, 2024

Investigation and examination of an employer's records may be conducted in accordance with W.S. § 27-14-803. The Division may examine books, accounts, payrolls or the business operation of any employer to determine if the employer has engaged in activity in violation of the Act, to verify information provided to the Division by the employer, and for the administration of this Act. The employer shall grant reasonable access to the Division's representative to examine information pertinent to the employers' business operations.

(a) Audit Procedures. The Division's representative will conduct an audit and review the preliminary findings with the employer. These audit findings will then undergo final review by the Division with correction of any findings, which it determines to be incorrect. The Division will then issue a Final Audit Determination Notice to the employer upon completion of the audit.

(i) Any unreported payments made to any individual, as found in an audit of an employer's records, shall be presumed to be unreported gross earnings unless documentation is provided by the employer that the individual meets the statutory requirements of W.S. § 2714- 102(a)(xxiii) as an independent contractor. The burden is upon the employer to provide such documentation.

(b) Contesting Audit. Any employer may contest the audit conducted by the Division. Contest shall be made by filing a written objection with the Division within thirty (30) days after notification by the Division as provided by the Final Audit Determination Notice. The Division shall resolve the matter administratively within forty-five (45) days or refer the objection to an independent hearing officer appointed for such purpose, pursuant to the Wyoming Administrative Procedure Act.
