Summary


The proposed amendment to paragraph 69L-6.025(4)(b), F.A.C., will allow employers an additional opportunity to remain compliant with their payment agreement schedules by increasing the number of times the Department will rescind an Order Reinstating Stop-Work Order from two to three in any one case. The proposed amendment to subsection 69L-6.025(7), F.A.C., will allow employers who have made at least three monthly payments of the agreed amount to enter into a new payment agreement in lieu of making six monthly payments. Reducing the number of payments required from six to three will shorten the timeframe for entering into a new payment agreement. The proposed amendment also clarifies that these payments must be based on the employer’s current payment agreement schedule. The proposed amendment to subsection 69L-6.025(8), F.A.C., further clarifies that the Department will only enter into one payment agreement for the recently served penalty. This verifies that the employer can only have one payment agreement and it must be based on the last served penalty. The proposed amendment to subsection 69L-6.025(10), F.A.C., will require employers who have been issued a Stop-Work Order or Order of Penalty Assessment to provide address changes to the Department.
