You're absolutely right that incentivizing behavior has better outcomes than fines, but the issue comes about in how to incentivize. In our current situation with the budget state and a low tax revenue stream, there isn't much room to incentivize and at the same time cover the benefits the employers we are trying to alter the behavior of aren't providing themselves.
