"This is a way to keep that pressure up, to make sure people are complying with the law…" Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff Under the plan, which becomes effective March 27, the minimum penalty for willingly hiring an unauthorized worker would go from $275 to $375.
The maximum penalty will jump from $2,200 to $3,200, and the maximum for multiple violations will increase from $11,000 to $16,000.
