Each alleged violation must be separately pleaded so that the adverse party or parties and the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board may be fully advised of the specific basis upon which the charge is founded.

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board may refer, or any worker may complain of, suspected violations of the criminal misdemeanor provisions of Labor Code Section 132a to the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement or directly to the Office of the Public Prosecutor.
