6. (2) Employer records, including but not limited to, the employer's payroll and production records, shall be available for inspection at the employer's industrial establishment by the commissioner or his duly authorized representative. Upon request of the commissioner or his duly authorized representative, the employer shall submit a copy of his payroll records subscribed and affirmed by him as true and accurate under the penalties of perjury.

8. (2) Such forms shall remain the property of the Department of Labor and shall be available for inspection by the commissioner or his duly authorized representative and, upon request, at the home of the homeworker. At the request of the commissioner or his duly authorized representative, such completed forms shall be returned to the department.
(d) Homeworkers.
(g) Labeling of work. The employer shall attach to all materials or articles delivered to a homeworker a label, written or printed typed in English, bearing the name and address of his place of business.
(h) Revocations and suspensions. An employer's permit or a homeworker's certificate may be suspended or revoked by the commissioner if, upon investigation, the commissioner finds that the employer or homeworker has violated any provisions of the Labor Law, or a rule or regulation of the commissioner, or has failed to comply with an order of the commissioner within the time limit specified by such order. An opportunity to be heard shall be granted before any such suspension or revocation.
