Office for Human Research Protections (OHRP) of HHS.
There are two or three issues involved...
1. Do the extra-work consequences constitute "undue influence" or
"coercion"?
2. The fuzzy legal-status of someone in a subject pool. They
have not legally consented when they sign up for an experiment
because they have not yet received and indicated informed consent.
See, for example, the info in this question:

You mean for participant pools? No longer permitted by whom?
We have no-show penalties for our participant pool but still
had a large no-show rate until we switch to SONA which uses
automatic reminders. Marie

Subject: [tips] No-Show penalty -- still in use?
It is the beginning of the semester and the faculty are hot to
snuff the infamous no-show with various consequences like
extra requirements, extra participations, loss of points, etc.
I seem to remember a discussion that concluded that these
kinds of consequences were no longer permitted.
Can anyone point me to the definitive answer to this question
(definitive for 9/25/09, speed of change may vary with
location.)
