New Jersey § 34:6-47

§ 34:6-47.

Any person violating any of the provisions of P.L.1948, c. 249 ( C.34:6-47.1 et seq. ) shall be liable to a penalty of not less than $500.00 nor more than $5,000.00 to

be collected in a civil action by a summary proceeding under “the penalty enforcement

law” ( N.J.S.2A:58-1 et seq. ). Any violation of P.L.1948, c. 249 ( C.34:6-47.1 et seq. ) by an officer, agent or employee shall also be a violation of P.L.1948, c. 249 ( C.34:6-47.1 et seq. ) by his employer if such employer had knowledge of and actual control over the cause

of such violation. Where the violation is of a continuing nature each day during which it continues,

shall constitute an additional, separate and distinct offense. Any sum collected as a fine or penalty pursuant to this section shall be applied toward

enforcement and administration costs of the Division of Workplace Standards in the

Department of Labor. The commissioner is hereby authorized and empowered to compromise and settle any claim

for a penalty under this section in such amount in the discretion of the commissioner

as may appear appropriate and equitable under all of the circumstances.
