The SLGA inspects your establishment and finds that your 'Underage / Refusal Log' has not been consistently filled out, with several instances of refusal noted verbally but not documented. What is the most likely consequence for your establishment?

Question: The SLGA inspects your establishment and finds that your 'Underage / Refusal Log' has not been consistently filled out, with several instances of refusal noted verbally but not documented. What is the most likely consequence for your establishment?

Answer options:

• A verbal warning from the inspector with a directive to improve record-keeping. ✅ A formal written warning, potentially leading to a monetary penalty or license suspension upon subsequent violations.
• Immediate temporary suspension of your liquor license until the log is brought up to date.
• A minimal fine, as it's a procedural rather than a public safety violation.

Correct answer: A formal written warning, potentially leading to a monetary penalty or license suspension upon subsequent violations.

Explanation: Proper record-keeping, such as maintaining an 'Underage / Refusal Log,' is a regulatory requirement for licensed establishments in Saskatchewan. Failure to comply with these record-keeping standards can result in formal written warnings, which carry the weight of potential monetary penalties or license suspensions if the issue is not rectified or if further violations occur. While not an immediate public safety threat, it hinders regulatory oversight. Verbal warnings are less likely for persistent non-compliance.
