The amendment provides new language that outlines the terms and conditions under which an employer qualifies to enter into a new Payment Agreement Schedule For Periodic Payment of Penalty. The amendment deletes the requirement that subject employers file probationary periodic reports with the Department and amends Form DFS-F4-1601 (Monthly Payment Installment Invoice) to reflect this change. The proposed amendment also renumbers the rule to reflect the new language. The effect of the proposed rule amendment is to extend the payment agreement over a greater time horizon to those employers having demonstrated ongoing compliance with the terms and conditions of the Department’s periodic payment agreement and to streamline the rule’s administration.

SUMMARY:

The proposed rule amendment provides new language clarifying procedures regarding the conditional release of stop-work orders and the reinstatement of stop-work orders where employers have defaulted on penalty payment obligations. The proposed amendment also deletes the requirement that subject employers file probationary periodic reports with the Department and amends Form DFS-F4-1601 (Monthly Payment Installment Notice) to reflect this change.
