Penalties are expected to slightly increase under the new framework, but, in contrast to the current system, these penalties will only be served by those who persistently and deliberately do not meet their requirements. The expected number of penalties is based on jobseekers' compliance behaviour under the current system, with some conservative assumptions applied about behavioural change.
