Employer Sanctions

Employer sanctions refer to legal penalties imposed on employers who knowingly hire or continue to employ individuals who are not authorized to work in a country. These sanctions are designed to enforce immigration laws and ensure that businesses comply with regulations regarding worker eligibility. Consequences can include fines, loss of business licenses, and, in some cases, criminal charges. The goal of employer sanctions is to discourage the hiring of undocumented workers and promote lawful employment practices within the workforce.
