Administrative Monetary Penalty Amount
Marginal note:Administrative monetary penalty amount
209.98 The administrative monetary penalty for a violation is the amount set out in column 2, 3 or 4 of Table 2 of Schedule 2 opposite the total number of points determined under section 209.991 as set out in column 1, depending on the type of violation and whether it is committed by an individual or small business, or a large business.
SOR/2015-144, s. 8.
Marginal note:Period of ineligibility
209.99 (1) The period of ineligibility for a violation is the period set out in column 2, 3 or 4 of Table 3 of Schedule 2 opposite the total number of points determined under section 209.991 as set out in column 1 depending on the type of violation.
Marginal note:Beginning of period
(2) The period referred to in subsection (1) begins on the day on which the determination referred to in subsection 209.996(1) or (2) is made in respect of the employer.
Marginal note:Calculation
209.991 (1) The total number of points in respect of each violation is determined by
(a) considering
(i) the compliance history of the employer who committed the violation set out in column 1 of Table 4 of Schedule 2, and
(ii) the severity criteria set out in column 1 of Table 5 of Schedule 2;
(b) ascribing
(i) for the criterion described in subparagraph (a)(i), the applicable number of points set out in column 2 of Table 4 of Schedule 2,
(ii) for the criteria described in subparagraph (a)(ii), the applicable number of points set out in column 2 of Table 5 of Schedule 2 having regard to the severity or the impact of the violation, as the case may be,
(c) adding the values obtained under paragraph (b); and
(d) if the employer made an acceptable voluntary disclosure in accordance with subsections (2) and (3) and the value obtained under paragraph (c)
(i) is four or more, subtracting four points from the value obtained under that paragraph , or
(ii) is less than four, replacing that value with a value of zero.
Marginal note:Voluntary disclosure — criteria of acceptability
(2) The voluntary disclosure made by an employer with respect to the commission of a violation by the employer is acceptable if
(a) the disclosure is complete; and
(b) at the time the voluntary disclosure is made, the powers set out in sections 209.6 to 209.9 are not being exercised in respect of the employer nor is any enforcement action related to an offence arising out of the contravention of a provision of the Act being undertaken in respect of the employer.
Marginal note:Voluntary disclosure — considerations
(3) Despite subsection (2), an officer or the Minister of Employment and Social Development may consider that the voluntary disclosure is not acceptable after considering
(a) the severity of the impact of the violation on the foreign national;
(b) in the case of an employer described in subsection 209.2(1), the severity of the impact of the violation on the Canadian economy, or in the case of an employer described in subsection 209.3(1), the severity of the impact of the violation on the Canadian labour market;
(c) whether the disclosure was made in a timely manner;
(d) the number of times an acceptable voluntary disclosure is made by the employer; and
(e) the nature of the condition with which the employer failed to comply.
Marginal note:Cumulative amounts
209.992 (1) If a notice of preliminary finding under section 209.993 or a notice of final determination under section 209.996 that is issued to an employer lists more than one violation, the administrative monetary penalty amounts are cumulative but the total must not exceed $1 million.

(d) if applicable, the statement that a warning may be issued to the employer informing them that there is no administrative monetary penalty for the violation but that the violation will be considered in the calculation of the total number of points under subparagraph 209.991(1)(a)(i) for any subsequent violation; and
(e) the statement that the employer may make written submissions within the period set out in section 209.994 with respect to the information referred to in paragraphs (b) to (d).
