Where to find labor ordinances and records

To locate the text of an ordinance, search the city code or the municipal code publisher; to obtain enforcement records, submit a records request to the Records Division using the city request process.[2] Salt Lake City Records Division request page[1].
Penalties & Enforcement
Enforcement of labor-related city ordinances is typically handled by the designated enforcement department named in the ordinance (for example, Human Resources, Licensing, or Code Enforcement), or by the City Attorney when civil enforcement is required. Specific fine amounts, escalation for repeat or continuing offences, and statutory timelines for enforcement are not specified on the cited page for general public-records procedures; consult the specific ordinance text in the municipal code for monetary penalties and sanctions.[2]
