Employers: good faith defense.

Abstract

The Department of Labor Standards Enforcement is generally charged with enforcing employment statutes and regulations, either in administrative actions or through litigation. An employer may face administrative sanctions, civil fines and penalties, and criminal penalties for violations of employment statutes or regulations. This bill would permit an employer to raise as an affirmative defense that, at the time of an alleged violation, the employer was acting in good faith and in compliance with or reliance upon an applicable employment statute or regulation.
