Civil Money Penalty Inflation Adjustments — Wage and Hour Division (WHD) - U.S. Department of Labor
DOL Home > WHD > Civil Money Penalty Inflation Adjustments
On November 2, 2015, the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act Improvements Act of 2015 was enacted to advance the effectiveness of civil money penalties and to strengthen their deterrent effect. Outdated penalties are a problem because civil penalties are less effective when they do not keep pace with the cost of living. Penalties help deter violations of the important laws that the Wage and Hour Division (WHD) enforces, which result in safer, more productive workplaces. The law requires agencies across the federal government to adjust their penalties for inflation not later than January 15 of every year. The Department&apos;s 2018 CMP amounts were published in the January 2, 2018 Federal Register. Below is a table that reflects the 2018 civil money penalty amounts.
