For a willful violation, after applying appropriate adjustments
based on the employer's size, the base penalty will normally be multiplied by
25. The Administrator may instead, at his or her discretion, assess a penalty
between $9,753 and $135,653 based on the facts. For egregious violations, the
Administrator may assess a separate willful penalty, after appropriate
adjustments based on the employer's size, for each instance of a
violation.
