Practice question
Two proceedings involve the same local recruitment agency. In the first, reasonable grounds indicate that continued activity will exploit applicants while the complaint is investigated. In the second, the Director decides whether a proved serious offense warrants the final prescribed penalty. Counsel says both decisions are necessarily final criminal convictions. Which distinction is correct?
- Both decisions automatically impose imprisonment
- The first concerns protective suspension pending investigation; the second concerns an administrative penalty after due process
- Neither can affect the license because only workers may regulate it
- The first automatically decides every money claim
- The second retroactively makes the complaint unnecessary
