An employer can request a physician's note from an employee if the law applies consistently to all employees. Employers should limit the number of doctor's notes they request to verify that an employee is receiving medical care, but not to diagnose an employee's illness. Employers should look into the state and local laws regarding paid sick days to determine which laws apply.

Noncompliance penalties can vary depending on the company's size, market power, and the skills of its workforce. For example, in Costa Rica, a minimum wage program increased compliance rates and boosted average wages. The program did not have a negative impact on employment. Brazil's increased enforcement of minimum wage laws boosted formal employment but also reduced the inequality in self-employment.
