§ 1403 Employer Civil Penalties
This law says employers must warn workers before big layoffs or closing a workplace. If they don’t, they can be fined up to $500 for each day they break the rule.
A factory suddenly closes without telling its 200 workers ahead of time.
The boss didn’t give the required warning, so they could be fined $500 for every day they didn’t tell the workers. But if the boss pays all the workers what they’re owed within 3 weeks, they won’t get fined.
