I'm going to ask our experts to confirm the matter for us, but from what I understand, a person who violates this part of the act would be liable to a penalty of up to $500. For example, an individual who accepted a job that was supposed to pay him $200,000 a year and who violated the code would be liable to a maximum penalty of $500.
In our opinion, the maximum amounts of the penalties are ineffective and inapplicable; in short, they're not serious. It's as though we were imposing maximum finds of $5 under the Highway Safety Code. If you want to enforce the code, we think you have to have significant penalties. The maximum, which would not apply every time a person violated the code, should be $50,000, rather than $500.
