10) Does the agency retain any fines for enforcement (i.e. an enforcement fund)?

A.) All prevailing wage rate laws contain one or more penalties, however, the department does not have the authority to impose any penalty. All penalties must be imposed by a court of law. The department's only responsibility is to conduct investigations and attempt to recover any unpaid wages. (Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development)

B.) Therefore, because there can be no fines, the department does not retain fines for enforcement. (Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development)
