Did you know that non-compliance can cost you money? Under the new administration, enforcement agencies, such as the EEO, OSHA, DHS, DOL, and others are 3-6 times more funded than they were a year ago? What does more funding for government regulators mean?—Higher enforcement, more whistleblower protection, greater risk for employers.
Let us help you avoid these costs:
- Potential penalty for violating Americans with Disabilities Act — $75,000
- Potential cost of wage & hour violation under the Fair Labor Standards Act — $10,000
- Potential fine for each violation of the Occupational Safety and Health Act — $7,000
- Potential fine for each violation of minimum wage and overtime pay requirements — $1,000.
There are more costs, related to hiring, I-9s, COVID-19 safety, rest periods, etc. all of which fall under the jurisdiction of the EEO, DOL, DHS, OSHA, even local authorities. There’s a high duty of care for employers. Let us help!
