They were asked several times to provide payroll records between January and March of this year, but failed to do so.
The two companies have also been ordered to pay outstanding wages totally almost $22,000 to 15 employees.
Cabtec and Precision Wood Products are both owned by brothers Ken and Kim Kowalchuk.
