About this file

This is a Fines and Penalties Chart from the City of New Haven's Commission on Equal Opportunities, establishing enforcement penalties for compliance violations under the City's workforce development and labor standards ordinance (C.G.S. 17-201(15)) for fiscal year 2024-2025. The document outlines monetary penalties applicable to construction contractors and subcontractors failing to meet pre-award conference requirements, hiring obligations for subcontractors, certified and living wage payroll reporting deadlines, daily employee reporting standards, and diversity participation goals. Violations range from single infractions assessed at $750 to $4,000 per occurrence, with escalating penalties for repeated violations or systemic non-compliance. The penalties are structured to charge responsible parties at all contractor tiers, from subcontractors through general contractors, and can be calculated as either fixed dollar amounts or percentages of construction contract values, whichever is greater.

The penalty structure reflects the City's commitment to enforcing labor compliance, diversity participation, and record-keeping requirements across all construction projects. Penalties for late certified or living wage payroll reports are calculated at $1,000 per week or 1% of the construction contract amount per week, whichever is more, with escalated charges beginning in the ninth week of delinquency. Violations of maximum effort requirements to achieve minority, female, and resident participation goals are assessed at $2,000 per week or 1% of the respective construction contract amount per week, chargeable throughout the entire project work period. The chart applies uniformly to all covered construction projects and serves as the enforcement mechanism for the City's prevailing wage and equal opportunity ordinances approved by Mayor Justin Elicker.
