Individuals who file charges in bad faith or repeatedly file frivolous claims may face fines up to $5,000.
Key points
New Requirement: Labor practice charges must now include supporting evidence (photos, emails, affidavits) or a certified statement explaining why evidence cannot be provided.
Penalties: Fines up to $5,000 are introduced for individuals who file charges in bad faith or engage in a pattern of filing frivolous complaints.
Due Process: The party being charged gains the right to inspect and analyze all evidence used against them before the hearing takes place.
