(a) If the Director of the Department of Labor determines that a public employer has violated a provision of this subchapter, the director shall issue an order to the official responsible for performing the duties required by this subchapter directing that official to cease and desist the act or omission constituting the violation. Such an order shall constitute prima facie evidence of a violation in any enforcement action filed pursuant to § 8-7-1015 of this subchapter.
(b) If the director determines that a public employer has violated § 8-7-1008 relating to employee information and training and within sixty (60) days of issuance of a cease and desist order the public employer has not remedied the violation, the director may conduct a program or programs to remedy the violation and require such public employer to reimburse the director for the cost of doing so.
(c) Violation of this subchapter by a public employer shall be cause for adverse personnel action against the supervisor or supervisors responsible for the violation, including, but not limited to, suspension, demotion, withholding of annual career service recognition payments, or, in the case of serious and repeated violations, termination. Issuance of a cease and desist order by the director shall not be a prerequisite for such adverse personnel action, but such action shall only be taken in accordance with the civil service laws and regulations.
