What penalties can employers face for violating minimum wage laws?

Employers who fail to pay the required minimum wage may be ordered to pay the unpaid wages along with possible penalties. Repeated violations or intentional underpayment can result in higher fines and additional enforcement action. Paying workers correctly the first time helps avoid these costly consequences.
