The posters shall also contain the rights and remedies described in §§ 37-26-7 and 37-26-8 for nonpayment of any wages pursuant to this chapter. Posters shall be furnished to contractors and subcontractors at the time a contract is awarded by the director of labor and training, who shall determine the size and content thereof from time to time, at the time a contract is awarded. A contractor or subcontractor who or that fails to comply with the provisions of this section shall be deemed guilty of a civil infraction and shall pay the director of labor and training one hundred dollars ($100) for each calendar day of noncompliance as determined by the director.
