Why bother to comply?

You can't hire someone for $20,000 a year, pay the fine and move on doing business as normal. This is a simple business decision. Until the fine is more than the cost of complying expect companies to continue failing to comply.

Agree in spirit re the fine, but where did you get the $20k figure from?

13.3M / 660 = 20,151.515

It also states "as much as $20,000 for many operators" above.

From the article quoted above.

Apparently, many carriers figured paying the fine (as much as $20,000 for many operators) was a less strenuous process.
