If an employer is found guilty of discriminating against an employee, they may face legal consequences, including monetary damages, fines, and the requirement to reinstate the employee or provide back pay. Additionally, the employer could be subject to reputational harm, which might affect their ability to attract talent and retain customers.

Employees complete Form W-4 to provide their employer with information about their tax situation, which helps determine the correct amount of federal income tax to withhold from their paychecks. By considering factors such as marital status, dependents, and additional income, the W-4 ensures that the withholding aligns with the employee's anticipated tax liability for the year. Accurate completion of this form can help prevent under-withholding or over-withholding, impacting the employee's financial situation at tax time.

If you operate machinery while under the influence of drugs or alcohol and place yourself or others at risk as a result, the penalties to you will come from your employer, who may go so far as to fire you. If your employer does not take action to prevent such improper employee conduct, the employer may be subject to fines and citations from OSHA.
