Sec. 2258.054. ARBITRATION AWARD; COSTS. (a) If an arbitrator determines that Section 2258.023 has been violated, the arbitrator shall assess and award against the contractor or subcontractor:
(1) penalties as provided by Section 2258.023 and this section; and
(2) all amounts owed to the affected worker.
(b) An arbitrator shall assess and award all reasonable costs, including the arbitrator's fee, against the party who does not prevail.
