Increases penalties for employers who fail to pay wages and fringe benefits with intent to defraud.

The bill amends Michigan's fair employment practices law to increase penalties for employers who fail to pay wages and fringe benefits with the intent to defraud. Penalties vary based on the value of unpaid wages and fringe benefits, with higher values resulting in more severe penalties. For example, employers who fail to pay wages and fringe benefits valued at $100,000 or more face up to 20 years in prison, a fine of up to three times the value of the unpaid wages and fringe benefits, or both. The bill also increases penalties for repeat offenders.
