261: How person recomplies after failure to comply with obligation

You could also call this:

“How to fix things when you break a rule”

If you don’t follow a rule that you’re supposed to, you can fix it by doing what you were meant to do in the first place. This is called ‘recomplying’.

Sometimes, you might get a notice that tells you about more than one rule you didn’t follow. If this happens, you need to fix all of the things mentioned in the notice to recomply.

It’s important to know that these rules about recomplying don’t apply to drug-testing rules. Those have different ways of being fixed.
