<body>
<p>Civil Monetary Penalties (CMPs) are assessed for violations of statutes and regulations administered by the Wage and Hour Division.&nbsp; Current regulatory text requires the person assessed such a CMP to remit the payment by "certified check or money order".&nbsp; In recognition of the modernization of pay practices, the Department will revise the regulations to allow for electronic payment alternatives.</p>
