If payment under terms of order issued by a judge are not paid within 14 days, what happens?

When a judge issues an order requiring payment, there is a 14-day window to fulfill that obligation. If payment isn’t made within that window, a 20% penalty is added to the amount due. This penalty is meant to enforce prompt compliance with the court’s order and compensate the other party for the delay. The smaller percentage penalties and the idea of voiding the order aren’t how this enforcement works in Rhode Island workers’ compensation practice.
