Are penalties substantial or insufficient in your opinion and why or why not?

Yes penalties are insufficient from employer side.In most of the cases companies try to manage their fault & they pass that fault to employee.For his / her none of mistake he / she may face a problem.

In most of the cases companies pay very less amount to worker which is not possible for that worker to manage his / her family expenses in that amount.

At the last he /she got injury , he can not work anywhere .So then how to manage in the particular penalty amount.Very difficult.

So there should be strong regulations about penalties.
