Yes. There are some midwest states who do (or at least, "did" when I
worked for GTE TelOps) ... they proceeded from the principle of "If a
PUC person is dealing with this, whether $COMPLAINANT is right or
wrong, $UTILITY is paying us $SOME_HOURLY_RATE for the clerk's time
in dealing with it"...
GTE has (or at least had) a "cash buyout" that reps were capable of
giving (at the time, it was up to $500, with $1000 on supervisor
approval) ... so obviously the hourly "fine/rate" even for claims
where the utility was "right" was high enough to justify such. :)
