After a three-month long investigation, irregularities were revealed in six districts including Hisar. On this basis, Vij issued orders to suspend three labor inspectors. Labor Commissioner Dr. Maniram Sharma issued suspension orders with immediate effect.

Minister Anil Vij said that due to shortage of staff in the Labor Department, Deputy Commissioners (DCs) of all the districts have been instructed to form a three-member committee to investigate the work-slip. It will include an officer of the Labor Department along with two independent gazetted members. This committee will go to every village and city of the state and do physical verification and will conduct an impartial investigation of the process of work-slip approval. All committees will have to submit their report within three months.
