The cost of one bad hire.
Hiring someone from a sanctioned country like North Korea — even unknowingly — is a federal violation. Every paycheck made is considered a separate offense.
Calculate your exposure01
Strict Liability
OFAC doesn't care if you didn't know. Intent is irrelevant — if a sanctioned individual is on your payroll, you're liable from day one.
02
Violations Stack
One contractor, six months, bi-weekly pay. That's 13 violations at $356K each — $4.6M in civil penalties before criminal charges even enter the picture.
03
No Screening, No Defense
The single biggest factor OFAC weighs when setting penalties is whether you had a screening program. No documentation means no leverage when enforcement shows up.
The cost of one bad hire.
The Office of Foreign Assets Control is a division of the U.S. Treasury that enforces economic and trade sanctions against foreign adversaries. North Korea is a comprehensively sanctioned country. Any financial transaction with a North Korean national — like salary to an employee, is a federal sanctions violation.
