Copy as parenthetical citation

(2) Employers subject to subsection (e) of section two thousand three hundred four of the insurance law and subdivision two of section eighty-nine of this chapter shall keep a true and accurate record of hours worked for all construction classification employees. The willful failure to keep such record, or the knowing falsification of any such record, may be prosecuted as insurance fraud in accordance with the provisions of section 176.05 of the penal law.

(3) The chair, upon finding that an employer has failed to keep true and accurate records as required by this section, may impose upon such employer, in addition to all other penalties, fines or assessments provided for in this chapter, one thousand dollars for each ten day period of non-compliance or a sum not in excess of two times the cost of compensation for its payroll for the period of such violation, which sum shall be paid into the uninsured employers' fund created under section twenty-six-a of this chapter. When an employer fails to provide business records sufficient to enable the chair to determine the employer's payroll for the period requested for the calculation of the penalty provided in this section, the imputed weekly payroll for each employee, corporate officer, sole proprietor, or partner shall be the New York state average weekly wage, multiplied by 1.5. Where the employer is a corporation, the corporation and any of the following shall be liable for the penalty provided in this subdivision: the president, secretary and treasurer. If the employer shall within thirty days after notice of the imposition of a penalty by the chair pursuant to this subdivision make an application in affidavit form for a redetermination review of such penalty, the chair shall make a decision in writing on the issues raised on such application.
