<p> </p><p>The maximum penalty of £10,000 has been levied with regards to 22 employers.
<br>The breakdown of employers levied with the maximum penalty for each financial
<br>year is shown in the following table.<br><br>Please note the figures are for penalties
levied against employers at the <br>initial decision stage and may relate to more
than one worker. A penalty may be <br>reduced for a number of reasons, including if
it was a first visit to the <br>business; if the employer co-operated with the visit;
or if the employer can <br>provide evidence that a partial check has been undertaken.
We propose to <br>tighten and clarify the use of mitigating factors in the calculation
of civil <br>penalties with an increased focus on employer co-operation with the Home
<br>office.</p><p> </p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td colspan="2"><strong>Table of
